About

Dr. Bum Soo Kim is a leading urologist whose research centers on urolithiasis, robotic surgery, and penile rehabilitation. He has made major contributions to evidence-based clinical practice, most notably as the lead author of the 2023 Korean Society of Endourology and Robotics (KSER) recommendation on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of urolithiasis, a highly cited work (22 citations) that provides essential guidance for urologists managing kidney stones. Dr. Kim has also advanced the field of penile rehabilitation, demonstrating in a 2022 study (13 citations) that combining early low-intensity shock wave therapy with daily tadalafil significantly improves erectile function after prostatectomy. His pioneering work in robotic surgery includes early experiences with robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy (2010, 8 citations) and a landmark 5-year follow-up study (2018) confirming favorable oncological and functional outcomes after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. Most recently, his multicenter KSER research series (2024) addresses the critical but understudied topic of urolithiasis in kidney transplant patients. With a career dedicated to improving surgical outcomes and quality of life, Dr. Kim’s research continues to shape urological practice in Korea and beyond.
