About
Hyeon Hoe Kim is a pioneering urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic and minimally invasive surgical techniques for prostate and kidney cancers. His major contributions include landmark multi-institutional studies on robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) in Korea, which demonstrated the safety and feasibility of the approach with 32 citations, and comprehensive analyses of surgical clip-related complications after radical prostatectomy (40 citations). Kim has also made significant technical innovations, developing a grip force model for the da Vinci end-effector to improve surgical precision (28 citations) and a pneumatic-type surgical robot end-effector for laparoscopic surgery (19 citations). His research on prostate volume’s impact on oncological and functional outcomes (27 citations) and positive surgical margins (24 citations) has shaped clinical decision-making. Notably, he led a first-in-human feasibility study establishing novel intraoperative monitoring for the cavernous nerve during robot-assisted prostatectomy (23 citations). With over 230 total citations across his top 10 papers, Kim’s work bridges surgical robotics, oncological outcomes, and patient safety, establishing him as a leading figure in the evolution of robotic urological surgery in Asia.
