About
Masashi Kubota is a leading urologic surgeon whose research focuses on refining robot-assisted surgical techniques for kidney and prostate cancers. His most significant contributions center on challenging conventional surgical dogma—particularly the omission of parenchymal renorrhaphy during partial nephrectomy. Kubota’s landmark studies, which have garnered over 80 citations, demonstrate that avoiding renal suturing reduces warm ischemia time and preserves renal function without increasing bleeding or pseudoaneurysm risk, even in larger cT1b tumors. He has also pioneered the use of continued perioperative anticoagulant therapy during radical prostatectomy, showing it can be safely managed without elevated bleeding complications. His work on aging and antiplatelet effects in robotic prostatectomy further advances personalized perioperative care. Notably, Kubota has reported rare cases such as renal Ewing sarcoma treated with robotic partial nephrectomy, expanding the boundaries of minimally invasive oncology. His cumulative research, with papers cited across multiple international journals, has helped establish evidence-based protocols that improve surgical safety and functional outcomes, making him a respected authority in robotic urologic oncology.
