About
Dr. Woo Ju Jeong is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on refining surgical outcomes in prostate cancer care, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). Her major contributions lie in critically evaluating the gap between patient-reported outcomes and clinical assessments, most notably in her highly cited 2010 study on discrepancies in the perception of urinary incontinence following robotic surgery. This work, garnering 34 citations, highlighted how physician and patient definitions of continence often diverge, underscoring the need for patient-centered metrics in post-surgical recovery. Dr. Jeong has also systematically characterized the learning curve for RALP, demonstrating in a 12-cited study that surgical proficiency for pathologic T2 disease improves significantly with experience, thereby guiding training protocols and quality benchmarks. Her research directly impacts how surgeons counsel patients and measure success, bridging technical precision with quality of life. Through these investigations, Dr. Jeong has established herself as a key voice in advancing evidence-based, patient-aware urologic oncology.
