About

Kohei Saito is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving functional outcomes for prostate cancer patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His research centers on identifying preoperative predictors of postoperative quality of life, particularly in the domains of urinary continence and sexual function. In a 2023 study (7 citations), Saito retrospectively evaluated improvements in urinary status-related quality of life after RARP, helping to characterize which patients are most likely to experience meaningful recovery. His 2024 work (3 citations) demonstrated that high preoperative serum total testosterone levels are significantly associated with preserved sexual function following nerve-sparing RARP, offering a potential biomarker for patient counseling and surgical planning. By linking endocrine factors to surgical outcomes, Saito contributes to the growing field of personalized oncologic surgery, where preoperative hormone profiling may guide nerve-sparing techniques and postoperative expectations. His findings have direct clinical relevance for shared decision-making in localized prostate cancer treatment.
