About
Hikaru Mikami is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic-assisted surgery for prostate cancer, with a particular focus on patient safety and health economics. His major contributions include the first detailed case report and review of Well Leg Compartment Syndrome following robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP), a rare but serious complication of the steep Trendelenburg position. This work, cited 9 times, has helped raise awareness and improve perioperative protocols. More recently, Mikami has been at the forefront of evaluating next-generation surgical platforms. His 2025 study, with 5 citations, provides the first clinical and economic assessment of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy using the Japanese-developed Hinotori surgical system, comparing its outcomes and costs directly with the established da Vinci system. This research is pivotal for hospitals considering new robotic platforms. Mikami’s work uniquely bridges surgical technique, complication prevention, and cost-effectiveness, making him a key voice in the global conversation on the future of minimally invasive urologic oncology.
