About
Dr. Tomohiko Matsuura is a leading urologic surgeon whose research focuses on optimizing outcomes in robot-assisted surgery for prostate and kidney cancers. His most cited work demonstrates a keen interest in postoperative quality of life, particularly urinary continence. In a pivotal 2018 study (29 citations), he established that preoperative membranous urethral length is a key predictor of continence recovery after robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP), providing surgeons with a valuable tool for patient counseling and surgical planning. He has also identified predictive factors for biochemical recurrence in high-risk prostate cancer patients, contributing to more personalized treatment strategies. Beyond clinical outcomes, Dr. Matsuura is innovating surgical education; his 2021 study (18 citations) showed that repeated training with a virtual reality simulator can reduce 3D motion sickness in medical students, making robotic surgery training more accessible. His work on robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, assessed via renal scintigraphy, offers critical insights into long-term kidney function preservation. Dr. Matsuura’s research, totaling over 70 citations, bridges technical innovation with tangible patient benefits, establishing him as a thoughtful contributor to the advancement of minimally invasive urologic oncology.
