About
Takuma Ishihara is a leading researcher in surgical outcomes and predictive modeling, with a primary focus on robot-assisted surgery for prostate cancer and stroke rehabilitation. His most impactful work includes the development of a nomogram for predicting lymph node involvement in prostate cancer patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), based on a large multicenter cohort study in Japan (MSUG94 Group, 5 citations). He further refined this approach with a second nomogram for predicting locally advanced prostate cancer in clinically organ-confined disease, demonstrating his commitment to improving preoperative risk stratification. Beyond oncology, Ishihara has made notable contributions to robotic-assisted surgery for rectal tumors, comparing technical outcomes against laparoscopic approaches, and to neurorehabilitation, where he showed that initiating robot-assisted gait training within one week of stroke onset significantly improves gait independence in hemiparetic patients. His work, grounded in rigorous propensity score-matched analyses and multicenter collaborations, has garnered over 16 citations across his most cited papers, establishing him as a key figure in advancing robotic surgical precision and early rehabilitation protocols.
