About
Dr. Suthep Pacharatakul is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher at Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Thailand, whose work centers on advancing surgical outcomes for prostate cancer. His primary research areas include minimally invasive prostatectomy techniques—specifically robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP) and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP)—and their comparative effectiveness against open surgery. Dr. Pacharatakul’s major contributions are documented in a landmark 10-year study (2019, 16 citations) that systematically compared perioperative and pathological outcomes of RALRP, LRP, and open radical prostatectomy, providing crucial evidence for surgical decision-making in Thai populations. He has also pioneered research on radical prostatectomy in renal transplant recipients (2021, 6 citations), addressing the unique surgical challenges in this complex patient group. Notably, his randomized controlled trial on puboprostatic ligament preservation during RARP (2020, 4 citations) directly informs techniques to improve early urinary continence—a critical quality-of-life outcome. With additional work stratifying outcomes by patient risk groups, Dr. Pacharatakul’s research bridges global surgical innovations with regional clinical practice, earning him recognition as a key figure in advancing urologic oncology in Southeast Asia.
