About
Kazuhito Matsushita is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on refining robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) to improve patient outcomes. His major contributions center on reducing postoperative complications, particularly inguinal hernia (IH) and optimizing cancer staging. His most cited study (39 citations) established the incidence and risk factors for IH after RARP and introduced a novel, effective prevention technique, directly addressing a common and burdensome complication. In another impactful work (21 citations), he demonstrated the value of indocyanine green-guided extended pelvic lymph node dissection for intermediate- to high-risk prostate cancer, enhancing the precision of staging and treatment. Matsushita is also known for developing a simple, reproducible modified anterior approach to bladder neck transection, improving surgical consistency. His research combines technical innovation with rigorous clinical evaluation, offering practical solutions that directly benefit surgical teams and patients. With a growing citation record, Matsushita’s work is shaping modern robotic prostate surgery, making it safer and more effective.
