About
Dong Hoon Koh is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive robotic surgery, particularly for kidney, prostate, and ureteral conditions. His major contributions include demonstrating the safety and efficacy of the da Vinci robotic system through a landmark study of 10,000 cases at a single institute in Korea, which has garnered 46 citations and established a benchmark for robotic surgical outcomes. He has pioneered pure single-site robot-assisted pyeloplasty and ureteral reconstruction using the da Vinci SP system, showcasing innovations that reduce invasiveness while improving cosmetic results and surgical precision. His research also explores the impact of patient factors—such as prostate weight on radical prostatectomy outcomes and diabetes on acute kidney injury after partial nephrectomy—providing critical insights for personalized surgical care. With over 160 cumulative citations, Koh has shaped clinical guidelines as a key contributor to the Korean Society of Endourology and Robotics recommendations on urolithiasis. His work bridges technical innovation and patient-centered outcomes, making him a pivotal figure in the evolution of robotic urology.
