About
Dr. Yasushi Yoshino is a leading urologic surgeon whose research focuses on optimizing outcomes in robot-assisted surgery for prostate and renal cancers. His work centers on improving surgical techniques and postoperative quality of life, particularly regarding urinary incontinence and nerve preservation. Dr. Yoshino’s most influential study, with 23 citations, identifies causative factors for de novo inguinal hernia after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, a critical complication often overlooked. He also developed a simple, practical predictor of long-term incontinence—daily urine loss immediately after catheter removal—demonstrated in a study of 315 patients (21 citations), enabling earlier intervention. His early-career analysis of nerve sparing and surgical margins (14 citations) provides essential guidance for surgeons adopting robotic techniques, while his prospective comparison of robotic versus laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (14 citations) helped establish robotic surgery’s superiority for renal tumors in Japan. Notably, Dr. Yoshino has also contributed to rare tumor management, reporting the first robotic resection of pelvic schwannomas simultaneously with prostatectomy. His work directly shapes clinical protocols and training for minimally invasive urologic oncology.
