About

Hana Yoon is a pioneering urological surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive robotic surgery. Specializing in single-port robotic urologic procedures, Yoon has been at the forefront of adopting and refining the da Vinci SP surgical system, contributing foundational knowledge to a rapidly evolving surgical landscape. Yoon's most notable contributions center on single-port robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (SP-RARP), a technically demanding procedure that minimizes patient trauma while maintaining surgical precision. Her 2020 study documenting an initial single-surgeon experience with SP-RARP in 20 patients provided critical early-stage evidence for the feasibility and safety of this approach, accumulating 32 citations. Building on this work, her 2022 comprehensive analysis of 120 patients across multiple urologic procedures further established standardized techniques and perioperative benchmarks, earning 28 citations and serving as an invaluable reference for surgeons adopting the technology. Together, these contributions reflect Yoon's commitment to pushing the boundaries of surgical innovation, offering the urological community reproducible data and refined methodologies. Her research serves as essential reading for surgeons and trainees seeking to understand the clinical potential of single-port robotic platforms in modern urologic practice.
