About
Eun-Kyung Kwon is a pioneering urological surgeon whose work centers on precision surgical oncology, particularly for complex renal tumours. Her major contribution lies in advancing personalised surgical planning through three-dimensional (3D) printing technology. In her landmark 2020 prospective case-matched study, Kwon introduced a novel 3D-printed transparent kidney model that serves as an intraoperative navigator for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RPN) in patients with challenging renal masses (R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score ≥7). This innovation allows surgeons to visualise tumour depth, vascular architecture, and critical structures with unprecedented clarity, directly improving surgical outcomes and nephron-sparing success. Her work has garnered significant attention, with this key paper accumulating 16 citations and establishing a new standard for patient-specific surgical simulation. Kwon’s research bridges the gap between advanced imaging and operative reality, demonstrating how customised anatomical models can enhance precision in minimally invasive surgery. Her achievements exemplify the transformative potential of 3D printing in urological oncology, offering tangible benefits for patients with complex tumours who previously faced higher surgical risks.
