About
Edward D. Matsumoto is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer. His major contributions span surgical technique, training, and health economics. He has conducted pivotal systematic reviews and meta-analyses comparing extraperitoneal and transperitoneal approaches (40 citations) and demonstrating the safety and efficacy of same-day discharge (12 citations), helping to shift RARP toward outpatient care. Matsumoto also pioneered a novel classification system for puboprostatic ligament variants (8 citations), enhancing surgical precision. In health policy, his economic evaluation of RARP versus open surgery in Ontario, Canada (22 citations) provided critical cost-effectiveness data that informed regional decision-making. Notably, he led a randomized trial comparing robotic simulators and assessing skill transfer to urethrovesical anastomosis (25 citations), and developed an intraoperative assessment tool for RARP training via Delphi consensus (6 citations). Through this body of work—totaling over 100 citations—Matsumoto has not only refined surgical practice but also established evidence-based frameworks for training, patient selection, and resource allocation in robotic urology.
