About
Takuya Koie is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic-assisted surgery for muscle-invasive bladder cancer and prostate cancer. His major contributions include pioneering robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal urinary diversion, notably developing the innovative “cross-folded U-configuration intracorporeal ileal neobladder” technique, which improves functional outcomes for bladder cancer patients. His research has demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of RARC after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and he has led large-scale multicenter studies in Japan (the MSUG94 group) evaluating oncological outcomes, the role of pelvic lymphadenectomy, and perioperative complications in prostate cancer patients. His most cited work, with 38 citations, established the utility of RARC with intracorporeal diversion for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, while his 2018 study on the neobladder technique has garnered 31 citations. Koie’s impact is reflected in over 150 total citations across his top papers, and he has been instrumental in shaping minimally invasive urologic oncology, particularly for elderly patients, as shown in his nationwide study on septuagenarians. His contributions continue to influence surgical standards and patient care in Japan and globally.
