About
Yousuke Umino is a clinical researcher whose work centers on improving surgical outcomes in urologic oncology, with a particular focus on radical cystectomy for bladder cancer. His major contribution lies in identifying modifiable risk factors for postoperative complications, most notably through his investigation of the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score. In his 2023 study, Umino demonstrated that preoperative nutritional impairment—assessed via serum albumin, lymphocyte count, and cholesterol—is significantly associated with the development of postoperative paralytic ileus, a common and costly complication that prolongs hospitalization. This work provides surgeons with a simple, objective tool for preoperative risk stratification and opens the door to targeted nutritional interventions. While his most cited paper has garnered 3 citations to date, its clinical relevance is growing as enhanced recovery protocols gain traction. Umino’s research exemplifies how translational nutrition science can directly impact patient recovery trajectories, making him a rising voice in the effort to reduce morbidity after major oncologic surgery.
