About

Jang Hee Han is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robot-assisted procedures for bladder and prostate cancers. His work centers on improving perioperative outcomes and functional recovery for patients undergoing radical cystectomy and prostatectomy. Han’s most cited paper, “Robot-assisted radical cystectomy: Where we are in 2023” (23 citations), provides a comprehensive review of the state of the art, highlighting how robotic approaches reduce the high morbidity associated with open surgery. He has also made notable contributions to functional preservation, leading a Phase I/II clinical trial on pelvic hypothermia during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy to protect erectile function and continence. In preclinical work, Han demonstrated the feasibility of transvesical robotic vesicovaginal fistula repair in a porcine model, showcasing his innovative approach to complex reconstructive challenges. With a growing citation impact, Han is recognized for translating novel technologies into safer, more effective urologic care, making him a key figure in the evolution of robotic surgery.
