About

Dr. Tomoaki Hakariya is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving outcomes in prostate cancer surgery and advancing minimally invasive robotic techniques. His major contributions center on high-risk prostate cancer management, where his 2022 study on preoperative predictors of lymph node invasion and biochemical recurrence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy—cited 12 times—provides critical guidance for surgical planning and risk stratification in D’Amico high-risk patients. Dr. Hakariya has also demonstrated technical innovation in rare urologic conditions, including a 2024 case report of successful robot-assisted reconstruction for retrocaval ureter, a congenital anomaly seldom treated with robotic surgery. Additionally, his 2024 report on mucinous prostate cancer recurrence in the rectal wall from needle-track seeding after transrectal biopsy highlights a rare but important complication, underscoring his attention to long-term surgical outcomes and patient safety. With a growing body of work that bridges oncologic precision and robotic surgical excellence, Dr. Hakariya’s research is valuable for clinicians and trainees seeking evidence-based strategies for complex prostate cancer cases and novel robotic reconstructions.
