About
Dr. Yuichiro Atagi is a leading urologic surgeon whose research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for older patients with bladder cancer, particularly through the advancement of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and urinary diversion techniques. His major contributions center on comparative effectiveness studies that evaluate less invasive surgical approaches for elderly and high-risk populations. In his most cited work (14 citations), Dr. Atagi employed propensity score matching to compare intracorporeal ileal conduit versus cutaneous ureterostomy (CUS) in older patients undergoing RARC, demonstrating that CUS may reduce perioperative complications while maintaining oncologic efficacy. His 2024 multicenter retrospective study further examines the impact of lymph node dissection on surgical and oncological outcomes in RARC for bladder cancer, contributing critical evidence to refine surgical standards. Dr. Atagi’s research is distinguished by its focus on patient-centered outcomes, balancing radical treatment with quality of life considerations. His work has been instrumental in shaping clinical guidelines for geriatric urologic oncology, and he continues to be a key voice in advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques that improve recovery and survival for this vulnerable patient population.
