About
Teruhiko Tsuru is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving surgical outcomes for prostate and kidney cancers. His key research areas include postoperative continence recovery after radical prostatectomy and minimally invasive nephron-sparing surgery. Tsuru’s most cited study, published in 2018, demonstrated that the location of the bladder neck on postoperative cystography can predict continence convalescence after radical prostatectomy—a finding that helps surgeons counsel patients and tailor recovery expectations. Analyzing 203 patients who underwent laparoscopic or robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, this work has garnered 16 citations for its practical clinical utility. In a 2020 study, Tsuru advanced the field of partial nephrectomy by evaluating off-clamp tumor excision using soft coagulation in laparoscopic and robotic approaches. This technique, assessed in 78 patients, aims to reduce warm ischemia time and preserve renal function. Tsuru’s contributions reflect a commitment to refining surgical techniques that enhance patient quality of life, bridging the gap between operative innovation and tangible postoperative outcomes.
