About
Kei Yaginuma is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving outcomes after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), particularly in the areas of thromboembolic risk and bladder function. In a landmark prospective study, Yaginuma demonstrated that the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after RARP is remarkably low when assessed through systematic imaging, challenging the necessity of uniform postoperative prophylaxis and suggesting that robotic surgery may carry a distinct safety profile (5 citations). Building on this, Yaginuma’s more recent prospective work investigates the prognosis of lower urinary tract symptoms in patients with pre-existing low bladder contractility, offering critical guidance for surgical decision-making in this vulnerable population (2 citations). By focusing on patient-specific risk stratification and functional preservation, Yaginuma contributes to a more nuanced, evidence-based approach to robotic prostatectomy. These studies, though early in their citation trajectory, represent important steps toward personalizing perioperative care and improving quality of life for prostate cancer patients undergoing robotic surgery.
