About
Yoshihiro Tatsumi is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving outcomes in robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) for prostate cancer. His primary research areas include surgical risk stratification, postoperative complications, and the role of imaging in predicting disease progression. Tatsumi’s most significant contribution is his 2020 study demonstrating that periprostatic fat thickness, measured via preoperative MRI, is an independent risk factor for pathological upstaging from cT1/2 to pT3 following RALP. This finding, cited 9 times, offers clinicians a novel, non-invasive tool for surgical planning and patient counseling. He has also documented rare complications of RALP, such as the intravesical migration of Hem-o-Lok clips, providing valuable guidance for surgeons managing these events. With a focused body of work that directly addresses practical challenges in robotic urologic surgery, Tatsumi’s research helps refine patient selection, improve surgical safety, and advance the precision of prostate cancer care.
