About
Shohei Kawaguchi is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving functional outcomes after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and partial nephrectomy. His most significant contributions focus on the mechanisms of urinary continence following Retzius-sparing RARP (RS-RARP). Through pioneering use of dynamic MRI, Kawaguchi demonstrated that RS-RARP preserves anatomical structures critical for early continence, directly explaining its superiority over conventional approaches. His work has garnered over 100 citations, with his 2022 study on continence mechanisms cited 17 times. Kawaguchi also conducted the first prospective randomized trial of a novel prophylactic procedure to prevent inguinal hernia after RARP, and has compared the effectiveness of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy versus cryoablation in elderly renal cancer patients. His research consistently combines rigorous methodology—including propensity score matching—with clinically actionable insights, making him a key figure in advancing nerve-sparing and continence-preserving techniques in robotic urologic oncology.
