About
Yinghao Sun is a pioneering Chinese urological surgeon whose career has been defined by advancing minimally invasive and robotic surgical techniques for urological cancers, particularly prostate and kidney cancers. Based at a leading institution in mainland China, Sun has played a transformative role in introducing and refining robotic-assisted surgery in the region, most notably leading one of the first and largest single-surgeon series of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) in mainland China, accumulating 500 cases and providing critical insights into learning curves and functional outcomes. His most-cited work—a 2014 systematic review comparing robotic and open partial nephrectomy, which has garnered 148 citations—established him as an authoritative voice in evidence-based urological surgery. Sun has also contributed meaningfully to innovations such as single-port robotic prostatectomy, robotic perineal approaches, and laparoendoscopic single-site partial nephrectomy, consistently pushing the boundaries of surgical minimalism. His research on nephrometry scoring systems and warm ischemia time further demonstrates a commitment to optimizing patient outcomes through anatomical precision. Collectively, Sun's body of work has helped shape the trajectory of robotic urology across China and internationally.
