About
Dr. Hye Soo Kim is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher specializing in the surgical management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), particularly for patients with extremely large prostates. Her major contribution lies in directly comparing the efficacy and safety of two advanced, minimally invasive procedures: robotic-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) and holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP). In her highly cited 2023 study, Dr. Kim provided critical evidence that both techniques are effective for huge prostates, but highlighted key differences in recovery time, complication profiles, and functional outcomes. This work has already garnered 4 citations, establishing her as a key voice in the debate over optimal surgical approaches for complex BPH. Her research helps guide urologists in tailoring treatment to individual patient anatomy and risk factors, improving outcomes for men with this challenging condition. Dr. Kim’s dedication to comparative effectiveness research is shaping modern, evidence-based urologic practice.
