About

Yosuke Umino is a leading urologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing robotic-assisted surgical techniques for complex urologic cancers, particularly in elderly and high-risk patient populations. His work has significantly contributed to understanding perioperative outcomes and safety in robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and radical prostatectomy (sRARP), demonstrating that these minimally invasive procedures can be safely performed in patients aged 80 years and older—a traditionally vulnerable group. Umino’s 2022 study on RARC in the elderly, which has garnered 8 citations, provides critical evidence for expanding surgical candidacy. He has also pioneered innovative combined procedures, such as simultaneous robot-assisted nephroureterectomy and cystectomy for synchronous upper tract and bladder cancers. Notably, Umino integrates geriatric assessment tools into surgical planning; his 2023 work on the G8 and IADL-modified G8 screening tools (5 citations) shows that rapid geriatric evaluations can predict a patient’s ability to manage a stoma independently after urinary diversion, directly impacting postoperative quality of life. With additional studies on salvage prostatectomy for radiation-recurrent cancer and the role of perinephric fat in partial nephrectomy, Umino’s research consistently bridges surgical innovation with patient-centered outcomes, earning him recognition as a thoughtful clinician-scientist dedicated to improving surgical safety and recovery.
