About
Dr. Ho Song Yu is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research has significantly advanced the field of robotic prostate surgery, particularly in the treatment of prostate cancer. His work focuses on refining surgical techniques to improve oncological outcomes while minimizing complications and preserving patient quality of life. Dr. Yu’s most cited study (85 citations) provides a critical comparison of transperitoneal versus extraperitoneal robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, offering evidence-based guidance on surgical approach. He is also a leader in minimally invasive innovation, demonstrated by his work on robot-assisted laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (58 citations), where he validated a cost-effective homemade single-port device. His research on lymphocele risk factors after extraperitoneal prostatectomy (45 citations) has helped surgeons reduce postoperative complications. Beyond the operating room, Dr. Yu has contributed to health policy through a nationwide population-based study (15 citations) analyzing practice patterns and direct medical costs for prostate cancer in Korea over a decade. His case report on da Vinci system malfunction (17 citations) further underscores his commitment to surgical safety. With a career dedicated to advancing robotic urology, Dr. Yu’s work has shaped modern surgical practice and improved outcomes for thousands of patients.
