Guanqun Ju

About

Guanqun Ju is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work is redefining the standards of minimally invasive prostate cancer surgery. His primary research focuses on robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), where he has made pivotal contributions by comparing surgical platforms and techniques to optimize patient outcomes. Ju’s most influential work, a 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis (49 citations), provided the first separate analysis of randomized and non-randomized trials comparing robotic-assisted versus laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, offering crucial clarity in a long-standing clinical debate. He is also a pioneer in single-port robotic surgery, demonstrated by his 2021 study (33 citations) comparing perioperative outcomes of extraperitoneal single-port and multiport radical prostatectomy using the da Vinci Si system. Further advancing the field, Ju introduced the extraperitoneal tissue retraction technique in 2022, a novel method that overcomes spatial limitations in single-port procedures. With a cumulative impact of over 86 citations, Ju’s work directly informs surgical decision-making and pushes the boundaries of what is achievable with robotic platforms, making him a key figure in the evolution of urologic oncology.
