About
Mikio Sugimoto is a Japanese urological surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotic-assisted surgery, prostate cancer management, and urological oncology. He is perhaps best known for his contribution to the 2016 Japanese Urological Association's evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for prostate cancer, a landmark document that has garnered over 150 citations and continues to shape clinical decision-making across Japan. His research spans the full prostate cancer treatment spectrum, from cost-effectiveness analyses of active surveillance strategies to refining surgical techniques in robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). Notably, Sugimoto has pursued an innovative line of inquiry into the ocular risks of steep Trendelenburg positioning during robotic procedures, demonstrating measurable effects on retinal nerve fiber layer thickness—particularly in glaucoma patients—a finding with meaningful implications for surgical safety protocols. His comparative work on urinary diversion techniques in robot-assisted radical cystectomy further reflects his commitment to improving patient outcomes through rigorous multi-institutional data. With research spanning oncological guidelines, surgical innovation, and patient safety, Sugimoto has established himself as a thoughtful and broadly impactful contributor to contemporary Japanese urology.
