About
Yuki Harigane is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on optimizing outcomes for prostate cancer patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His research centers on three key areas: postoperative complications, functional recovery, and patient-reported quality of life. Harigane’s most significant contribution is a prospective study demonstrating a low risk of venous thromboembolism after RARP through systematic imaging assessment (5 citations), challenging the need for uniform prophylaxis in robotic surgery. He has also identified predictors of prolonged severe urinary incontinence and de novo overactive bladder after RARP, including preoperative symptom scores, dyslipidemia, and non-nerve-sparing surgical approaches. In a notable 2025 study, Harigane longitudinally assessed factors affecting patient satisfaction after RARP using validated patient-reported questionnaires, providing actionable insights for preoperative counseling. His work bridges the gap between surgical technique and patient-centered outcomes, offering evidence-based guidance for managing expectations and improving recovery after robotic prostatectomy.
