About
Brendan Koo is a urological surgeon whose research focuses on optimizing outcomes in robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP), particularly through the lens of biopsy technique. His key contributions center on comparing the impact of transrectal versus transperineal prostate biopsy on subsequent surgical, oncological, and functional results. In his most cited work (2016, 3 citations), Koo demonstrated that transperineal biopsy does not adversely affect perioperative complications, cancer control, or early functional recovery following RALP—a finding that supports the growing adoption of transperineal approaches for their lower infection risk. While his citation count is modest, this work addresses a critical clinical question at the intersection of diagnostic and therapeutic urology. Koo’s research is notable for its practical relevance, helping surgeons and patients make informed decisions about biopsy pathways without compromising surgical outcomes. His focus on refining robotic prostatectomy techniques reflects a commitment to improving both oncological safety and quality of life, making his contributions valuable for clinicians navigating the evolving landscape of prostate cancer management.
