About
Dr. Hyeon Jun Jang is a distinguished urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex urologic cancers. His major contributions lie in comparing robotic and laparoscopic approaches for challenging procedures, particularly partial nephrectomy for complex renal tumors. In his landmark 2014 study, Dr. Jang demonstrated that robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) offers superior perioperative outcomes compared to laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) for tumors with RENAL nephrometry scores of 7 or higher, a finding that has guided surgical decision-making worldwide and earned 31 citations. He has also made significant contributions to prostate cancer surgery, analyzing over 1,800 radical prostatectomy cases to investigate how positive surgical margins and biochemical recurrence rates vary across four different surgical approaches. This work has helped refine surgical techniques and improve oncologic outcomes. Dr. Jang’s research is characterized by rigorous comparative effectiveness studies that directly inform clinical practice, making him a respected voice in the field of urologic oncology and robotic surgery.
