About
Yukio Homma is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped the modern approach to robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His research centers on optimizing surgical outcomes for prostate cancer patients, with a particular focus on improving post-operative quality of life. Homma’s major contributions include identifying key risk factors for complications such as inguinal hernia after RARP (42 citations) and demonstrating that robot-assisted surgery significantly reduces biochemical recurrence compared to traditional retropubic prostatectomy (30 citations). He has been instrumental in advancing continence recovery, showing that perioperative ultrasound-guided pelvic floor muscle training can promote early urinary control (38 citations) and that overactive bladder is a negative predictor of achieving continence (29 citations). His work on surgical education, including a validated mentoring program for novice robotic surgeons (23 citations), has helped maintain quality control during the adoption of this technology. With over 250 total citations across his most-cited papers, Homma’s research provides evidence-based guidance for clinicians and has improved outcomes for thousands of prostate cancer patients undergoing robotic surgery.
