About
Shigeo Horie is a prominent urological surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the field of robotic and minimally invasive urologic oncology, with particular focus on kidney, prostate, and bladder cancers. Based primarily in Japan, Horie has been instrumental in evaluating and refining robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN), contributing landmark multicenter studies that demonstrate its superiority over conventional laparoscopic approaches for complex renal tumors, including hilar masses. His research on "trifecta" outcomes — benchmarking surgical success across oncological, functional, and perioperative metrics — has helped establish standardized quality measures for robotic kidney surgery, accumulating over 50 citations. Horie's innovative work on three-dimensional virtual surgical planning further pushed the boundaries of precision medicine in urology, enabling more accurate preoperative modeling. Beyond renal surgery, he has made meaningful contributions to robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, identifying urethral length as a key predictor of continence recovery, and to radical cystectomy, comparing urinary diversion techniques. His leadership in pan-Asian collaborative initiatives, including the Asian Prostate Cancer study, reflects his commitment to broadening urological research across diverse populations. With a cumulative body of work exceeding 250 citations, Horie remains a pivotal figure in advancing robotic urology.
