About
Ha Ys is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on patient-reported outcomes and quality of life following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. His most cited study, published in 2013, examined factors influencing patient-perceived satisfaction after robotic surgery using the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) survey. This work highlighted the critical role of functional preservation—particularly urinary continence and sexual function—in postoperative satisfaction, shifting attention from purely oncologic outcomes to patient-centered metrics. With 16 citations, the paper has informed clinical counseling and surgical technique refinement. Ha Ys’s contributions underscore the importance of integrating patient perspectives into surgical decision-making, advancing the field of urologic oncology by bridging technical expertise with holistic care. His research continues to influence how surgeons communicate risks and expectations, ultimately improving recovery experiences for men undergoing prostate cancer treatment.
