About
Daeheon Choi is a leading figure in urologic oncology, with a focused expertise in prostate cancer surgery and the optimization of lymph node management in Asian patient populations. His major contributions center on the comparative effectiveness of surgical approaches, particularly the transition from open retropubic radical prostatectomy to robot-assisted laparoscopic techniques. In a landmark study drawing from one of the largest single-center series in Korea—comparing 247 open and 354 robot-assisted procedures—Choi provided critical evidence on the yield and safety of limited pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND). This work addressed a significant gap in the literature, as data on PLND in Asian cohorts were scarce, and it helped establish benchmarks for surgical practice in the region. While his most cited paper has accumulated 3 citations, its clinical relevance is underscored by its role in shaping minimally invasive protocols for prostate cancer treatment in Korea. Choi’s research continues to influence the refinement of surgical standards, bridging Western techniques with the unique anatomical and epidemiological characteristics of East Asian patients.
