About

Dr. Tsunehiro Nenohi is a leading urological surgeon and health services researcher whose work focuses on the comparative effectiveness and economic impact of minimally invasive surgical techniques. His major contributions center on evaluating robot-assisted, laparoscopic, and open radical cystectomy for bladder cancer, using large-scale nationwide databases to provide real-world evidence. His most cited study, "Comparisons of in-hospital fee and surgical outcomes between robot-assisted, laparoscopic, and open radical cystectomy: a Japanese nationwide study" (2024), leverages the Diagnosis Procedure Combination database to analyze over 5,000 cases, demonstrating that robot-assisted surgery offers comparable outcomes to laparoscopy but with significantly higher in-hospital fees. This work has been instrumental in informing healthcare policy and resource allocation in Japan. With 5 citations already, his research is gaining traction among clinicians and policymakers. Dr. Nenohi’s dedication to evidence-based practice and health economics makes him a key figure in advancing surgical quality and cost transparency in urology.
