About

Pai-Yu Cheng is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). His landmark work on robot-assisted radical nephroureterectomy (RARNU) has established this approach as a safe and effective alternative to traditional open and laparoscopic procedures, particularly for novice surgeons. Cheng’s comparative analyses demonstrate that RARNU offers superior perioperative outcomes, including reduced blood loss and shorter hospital stays, while maintaining comparable oncologic efficacy. His 2025 study on RARNU has already garnered significant attention, accumulating 2 citations in its first year—a strong indicator of its impact on surgical practice. Beyond his technical contributions, Cheng is recognized for mentoring the next generation of urologists, emphasizing the importance of robotic training in improving surgical accessibility and patient outcomes. His work bridges the gap between innovation and clinical application, positioning him as a leading voice in the evolution of minimally invasive urologic oncology. With a growing body of evidence supporting robotic approaches, Cheng continues to shape the standard of care for UTUC, offering patients safer, less invasive treatment options while empowering surgeons with advanced tools and techniques.
