About
Yoshihisa Matsukawa is a leading urological surgeon whose research focuses on improving functional outcomes after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP), particularly in the areas of urinary incontinence and overactive bladder. His work has been instrumental in identifying predictive factors for post-surgical complications, helping clinicians better counsel patients and manage expectations. His most cited study (38 citations) investigates the occurrence of de novo overactive bladder following RARP, while another highly cited paper (23 citations) examines causative factors for de novo inguinal hernia after the procedure. Matsukawa’s research on daily urine loss immediately after catheter removal as a predictor of long-term incontinence (21 citations) offers a practical, easily obtainable tool for early risk stratification. He has also conducted urodynamic evaluations to identify pre- and intraoperative factors affecting postoperative continence. Through these contributions, Matsukawa has advanced the understanding of post-prostatectomy morbidity, directly impacting patient care and surgical decision-making. His work is essential reading for urologists and researchers dedicated to enhancing quality of life after prostate cancer surgery.
