About
Dr. Yoshio Ohno is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has profoundly advanced the surgical management of prostate cancer, particularly through the adoption and refinement of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His research focuses on optimizing both oncological and functional outcomes, with key contributions in predicting biochemical recurrence (BCR) and improving post-surgical urinary continence. In a landmark study analyzing 784 Japanese patients, Dr. Ohno developed a novel risk stratification model for BCR after RARP, a work that has garnered 31 citations and remains a cornerstone for postoperative prognosis. He further refined risk assessment by identifying the cribriform morphology area ratio as a significant predictor of BCR in Gleason score 4+4 patients. On the functional side, his investigation into lateral bladder neck preservation demonstrated a clear impact on accelerating urinary continence recovery. Dr. Ohno was also among the pioneers in Japan, performing some of the country’s first RARP procedures using the daVinci Surgical System. With over 130 total citations, his research provides essential guidance for surgeons seeking to balance cancer control with quality of life, cementing his reputation as a key figure in minimally invasive prostate cancer care.
