About
Dr. Yoriaki Kagebayashi is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher specializing in prostate cancer surgery, with a particular focus on optimizing outcomes for robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). His work centers on using preoperative and postoperative imaging to predict and improve functional recovery, especially urinary continence. In his most cited study (24 citations), Dr. Kagebayashi demonstrated that specific preoperative MRI parameters can predict bladder neck location and subsequent urinary continence recovery after RALP, providing surgeons with actionable insights for patient counseling and surgical planning. He further advanced this field by showing that periprostatic fat thickness on MRI is an independent risk factor for pathological upstaging, helping to identify patients who may require more aggressive treatment. His research on postoperative cystogram findings (7 citations) established a direct link between early anatomical outcomes and long-term continence recovery. Dr. Kagebayashi has also contributed to surgical safety, documenting rare complications such as severe subcutaneous emphysema and Hem-o-Lok clip migration into the bladder, raising awareness of these risks. His work has been cited over 48 times, reflecting its practical impact on improving surgical precision and quality of life for prostate cancer patients.
