About
Dr. Ryuji Matsumoto is a pioneering urological surgeon whose research is reshaping prostate cancer care and surgical training. His work centers on three transformative areas: robotic and laparoscopic surgical innovation, perioperative rehabilitation, and healthcare economics. Dr. Matsumoto’s landmark 2020 study (26 citations) developed and validated a porcine organ model for essential laparoscopic skills training—a breakthrough that provides surgeons with a realistic, low-risk environment to master core competencies outside the operating room. He has also advanced our understanding of surgical safety; his prospective study using near-infrared time-resolved spectroscopy (14 citations) revealed critical changes in cerebral blood volume during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), directly informing safer patient positioning protocols. Demonstrating a holistic approach to outcomes, Dr. Matsumoto’s 2024 randomized controlled trial (11 citations) proved that pre- and postoperative supervised pelvic floor muscle training significantly improves continence recovery after RARP. His comparative cost analysis of active surveillance versus other treatments for early prostate cancer (8 citations) provides vital data for shared decision-making in Japan. Through these contributions—spanning simulation, physiology, rehabilitation, and health policy—Dr. Matsumoto is defining the future of minimally invasive urologic surgery.
