About
Dr. Yusuke Iemura is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving outcomes for prostate cancer patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). His key research areas include preoperative imaging biomarkers, postoperative recovery prediction, and surgical complications. Dr. Iemura’s major contributions center on using preoperative MRI parameters—such as periprostatic fat thickness and bladder neck location—to predict urinary continence recovery and pathological upstaging after RALP. His most cited paper (24 citations) demonstrated that specific MRI findings can forecast urinary continence outcomes, offering a tool for preoperative counseling and surgical planning. He also showed that postoperative cystogram findings correlate with continence recovery, and identified periprostatic fat thickness as an independent risk factor for tumor upstaging. Beyond predictive modeling, Dr. Iemura has documented rare complications like severe subcutaneous emphysema and Hem-o-Lok clip migration into the bladder, contributing to surgical safety knowledge. His work bridges radiology and urology, providing evidence-based guidance for patient selection and surgical technique refinement. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Iemura’s research is shaping personalized care in robotic prostate surgery.
