About
Dr. Un Waikeong is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing robotic-assisted surgery for complex kidney cancer cases, particularly in patients with solitary kidneys. His major contributions lie in integrating three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and navigation technologies into robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN), a technique that preserves renal function while maximizing oncologic control. In his landmark 2021 comparative study, Dr. Waikeong demonstrated that 3D-guided RAPN significantly improves surgical precision and outcomes in solitary kidney patients—a high-risk population where every nephron counts. This work, which has garnered 14 citations, represents a critical step toward personalized, image-guided surgery in urologic oncology. Beyond this, his research portfolio explores the intersection of digital health, surgical simulation, and patient-specific anatomical modeling, positioning him at the forefront of minimally invasive urology. Dr. Waikeong’s innovative approach not only enhances surgical safety but also sets a new standard for managing renal masses in challenging clinical scenarios, making him a key figure in the evolution of robotic urologic surgery.
