About
Dr. Sangjun Yoo is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on optimizing surgical outcomes for kidney and prostate cancers, with a particular focus on robotic and minimally invasive techniques. His major contributions lie in the comparative effectiveness of robot-assisted versus open partial nephrectomy. In a landmark 2016 study, he used Tc-99m DTPA renal scintigraphy to precisely compare postoperative renal function, demonstrating that robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) preserves kidney function as effectively as the open approach while offering the benefits of minimally invasive surgery. This work, which has garnered 19 citations, was further validated in a matched-pair analysis comparing warm versus cold ischemia. Dr. Yoo has also investigated risk factors for biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy, stratifying patients by obesity and surgical method, and has explored strategies to reduce complications, such as using ureteral catheters to prevent urinary leakage after partial nephrectomy. His methodical, evidence-based approach has helped refine surgical protocols, making him a respected voice in urologic oncology.
