About
Dr. Hyeok Joon Goh is a leading urologic surgeon whose research focuses on optimizing functional outcomes in prostate cancer surgery, particularly through the refinement of robotic-assisted techniques. His most impactful work centers on the Retzius-sparing approach to robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), a method designed to preserve critical anatomical structures for faster recovery of urinary continence. In a landmark propensity score-matched analysis of 1,863 patients, Dr. Goh demonstrated that Retzius-sparing RARP conveys significantly earlier regain of continence compared to conventional RARP, a finding cited 87 times and now shaping surgical protocols worldwide. Beyond this, his research portfolio spans comparative effectiveness studies and surgical innovation, with contributions that have collectively influenced how surgeons balance oncologic control with quality of life. Dr. Goh’s work is distinguished by its rigorous methodology and large-scale patient data, offering actionable insights for clinicians. For students and researchers, his studies exemplify how surgical technique modifications can dramatically improve patient-centered outcomes, making him a key figure in the evolution of minimally invasive prostate cancer care.
