About
Dr. Sean Ong is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of surgical oncology, 3D printing, and precision medicine. His primary research focuses on improving outcomes for prostate cancer patients, particularly through the development of patient-specific models to guide nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (NS-RARP). His landmark 2022 systematic review, which has already garnered 12 citations, was the first to comprehensively evaluate the role of 3D-printed prostate models in preserving erectile function and urinary continence during surgery. By demonstrating that these custom models enhance a surgeon’s ability to visualize and avoid critical neurovascular bundles, Dr. Ong has helped pioneer a shift toward truly personalized surgical planning. His work bridges the gap between advanced imaging and the operating room, offering tangible benefits for patients facing prostate cancer. Beyond this, Dr. Ong’s broader contributions to robotic surgery and anatomical modeling continue to influence how urologists approach complex pelvic procedures, making him a key voice in the movement toward data-driven, patient-tailored cancer care.
