About
Dr. Seok Cho is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic surgery, particularly for bladder and prostate cancer. His major contributions lie in the rigorous validation of robotic virtual reality simulators for surgical training, most notably the "Tube 3" module designed for practicing vesicourethral anastomosis. Through a series of highly cited studies, Dr. Cho has established effective, evidence-based training schedules and teaching methods to achieve skill proficiency in robotic-naïve individuals, with his foundational 2014 paper on repetitive training schedules accumulating 43 citations. His clinical impact is equally profound, demonstrated by his comparative analysis of intracorporeal versus extracorporeal urinary diversion following robot-assisted radical cystectomy, which also garnered 43 citations. Dr. Cho has further shaped the field by evaluating the learning curve for complex procedures like robot-assisted radical cystectomy and by providing standardized analyses of postoperative complications. His work on cryotherapy for prostate and kidney cancer highlights his broader expertise in minimally invasive urologic oncology, cementing his reputation as a pivotal figure in both surgical education and clinical practice.
