About

Yuki Inagaki is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving functional outcomes after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), with a particular focus on postoperative urinary incontinence—a critical quality-of-life concern for prostate cancer survivors. In his most cited study (2025, 4 citations), Inagaki investigated whether preoperative pelvic floor muscle thickness could predict early continence recovery. In a retrospective analysis of 114 RARP patients, he demonstrated that greater preoperative muscle diameter was significantly associated with faster return to urinary control, offering a practical, imaging-based tool for preoperative counseling and risk stratification. This work bridges surgical oncology and pelvic floor rehabilitation, providing evidence that patient anatomy can guide tailored postoperative care. Inagaki’s research contributes to the growing field of personalized recovery protocols in urologic oncology, where anatomical predictors are increasingly used to optimize surgical planning and patient education. His findings have immediate clinical relevance, helping surgeons set realistic expectations and design targeted pelvic floor training programs. As robotic surgery expands globally, Inagaki’s work stands out for its focus on measurable, modifiable factors that directly impact patients’ postoperative quality of life.
