About
Hung-Jen Shih is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research centers on advancing robotic-assisted surgery for prostate cancer treatment. His most impactful work directly compares the emerging Hugo Robotic-Assisted Surgery (RAS) system with the established da Vinci platform, demonstrating that experienced surgeons can successfully adapt to new robotic technologies. In his landmark 2024 study, which has already garnered 27 citations, Shih systematically evaluated console time, functional outcomes, and oncological results between the two systems. This research is critical for hospitals considering adopting alternative robotic platforms, as it provides evidence that the Hugo RAS system can achieve comparable surgical outcomes. Shih’s contributions are particularly valuable in an era where surgical robotics are rapidly evolving, helping to validate new technologies that could reduce costs and increase access to minimally invasive prostate surgery. His work bridges the gap between surgical innovation and clinical practice, offering data-driven guidance for urologists transitioning between robotic systems. By rigorously comparing these platforms, Shih is shaping the future of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and establishing benchmarks for evaluating next-generation surgical robots.
