About
Doejung Kim is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the surgical management of prostate cancer, particularly within the Korean clinical context. His primary research focuses on comparing the outcomes and technical nuances of open versus robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, with a specific emphasis on the role of limited pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND). In his landmark study, "Clinical Experience with Limited Lymph Node Dissection for Prostate Cancer in Korea," Kim provided critical single-center data from a series of 247 open and 354 robot-assisted procedures, addressing a notable gap in the literature regarding PLND yields in Asian populations. This work, cited 3 times, has helped refine surgical protocols and underscored the importance of tailoring lymph node dissection strategies to improve oncologic control while minimizing morbidity. Through his comparative analyses, Kim has contributed to the global understanding of robotic surgery’s efficacy and safety, establishing benchmarks for surgical practice and influencing treatment paradigms for prostate cancer patients in Korea and beyond.
