About

Do Kyung Kim is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on optimizing surgical outcomes for prostate cancer, particularly through robot-assisted techniques. His major contributions lie in refining radical prostatectomy to improve urinary continence and oncological control. A 2019 meta-analysis on bladder neck preservation during robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (28 citations) established a key strategy for long-term continence. He further advanced the field with a comprehensive 2025 network meta-analysis (16 citations) comparing robot-assisted, laparoscopic, and open approaches, providing crucial evidence for surgical decision-making. His systematic review of Retzius-sparing techniques (12 citations) offered updated insights into preserving functional outcomes. Notably, his 2018 study on high-risk prostate cancer (9 citations) demonstrated that time to disease recurrence after robot-assisted surgery predicts metastasis and mortality, informing postoperative surveillance. Beyond prostate cancer, Kim has investigated urolithiasis in kidney transplant patients through a multicenter series. As a contributor to the Korean Society of Endourology and Robotics (KSER) update series, his work has shaped contemporary urologic practice, with cumulative citations reflecting his impact on evidence-based surgical care.
