About

Chung-Kuang Su is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work has centered on advancing robotic-assisted surgery, particularly with the da Vinci system, to improve outcomes for patients with urological cancers. His major contributions lie in critically evaluating the safety and efficacy of this technology, most notably through his landmark study on da Vinci system malfunctions, which analyzed 400 procedures at Taichung Veterans General Hospital. This work, cited 31 times, provided essential insights into failure rates and potential solutions, directly informing surgical protocols and patient safety. Su has also shaped clinical practice by documenting the adoption of robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in Taiwan, showing how this minimally invasive technique became the new standard for localized prostate cancer. His early experience with robot-assisted partial nephrectomy further demonstrated the feasibility of nephron-sparing surgery for small renal masses. Through these studies, Su has not only expanded the practical applications of robotic urology but also established a framework for safe implementation, earning him recognition as a key figure in the field’s evolution.
