About
Yu Seob Shin is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted techniques. His major contributions include pioneering studies on robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP), where he has systematically compared surgical approaches—such as urethral-sparing versus trans-vesical methods—to optimize both urinary outcomes and ejaculatory function preservation. Shin has also investigated the combined use of prostatic artery embolization prior to RASP to reduce blood loss, demonstrating innovative strategies for managing large prostates. His research extends to critical safety issues in prostate cancer surgery, including the first reported case of peritoneal seeding during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and the migration of Hem-o-Lok clips into the bladder. With over 60 citations across his most influential papers, Shin’s work has shaped clinical practice by providing evidence for safer, more functional outcomes. His recent narrative reviews on ejaculation preservation highlight his commitment to improving quality of life post-surgery, making him a key voice in the evolution of BPH and prostate cancer management.
