About
Yuko Shirono is a clinical researcher whose work focuses on the perioperative management and safety of patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), with a particular emphasis on intraocular pressure (IOP) dynamics. Her key research areas include urologic oncology, anesthesiology, and the physiological impacts of surgical positioning. Shirono’s major contribution lies in identifying clinicopathological factors associated with dangerous IOP spikes during the steep Trendelenburg position required for RARP, a critical insight for preventing vision-related complications in prostate cancer surgery. Her most cited paper (14 citations) provides foundational evidence linking patient-specific factors to intraoperative ocular risks, informing safer surgical protocols. This work has been recognized for its translational value, bridging surgical technique and patient safety. Shirono’s research is particularly impactful for anesthesiologists and urologic surgeons seeking to mitigate adverse events, and her findings are increasingly referenced in guidelines for robotic surgery. Her dedication to improving outcomes in minimally invasive oncology underscores her role as a rising authority in perioperative safety.
