About
Dong Wan Sohn is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), with a particular focus on preserving sexual function. His major contributions include the development and comparative analysis of urethra-sparing robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP), a novel approach designed to maintain antegrade ejaculation in patients with large prostates (over 80 mL). In his most cited work from 2023, Sohn demonstrated that the extraperitoneal urethra-sparing technique (EUS-RASP) offers superior ejaculatory outcomes compared to traditional Freyer approach RASP, without compromising urinary symptom relief. This research, which has garnered 8 citations, addresses a critical quality-of-life concern for younger, sexually active men undergoing prostate surgery. Sohn’s work bridges the gap between effective surgical treatment and functional preservation, marking a meaningful step forward in patient-centered urologic care. His findings are particularly relevant for researchers and clinicians seeking to optimize surgical outcomes in BPH management while minimizing side effects.
