About
Dr. Hojin Yang is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for renal cancer, with a particular focus on robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN). His most cited study, a single-institution analysis of 232 patients, provides critical evidence that RPN is both safe and effective for treating larger renal masses exceeding 4 cm (T1b+). By comparing perioperative and oncologic outcomes against smaller T1a tumors, Dr. Yang demonstrated that robotic surgery can be extended to more complex cases without compromising patient safety or cancer control. This work has been cited 22 times, reflecting its influence on surgical decision-making and the expansion of nephron-sparing approaches. Dr. Yang’s contributions help define best practices for managing challenging renal tumors, offering patients a less invasive alternative to radical nephrectomy. His research continues to shape the field of urologic oncology, making him a key voice in the evolution of robotic kidney surgery.
