About
Ji Sung Shim is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the forefront of robotic minimally invasive surgery, with particular expertise in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) for prostate and bladder cancers. His research has meaningfully advanced the field by evaluating emerging technologies and techniques, most notably through his comparative analyses of single-port versus multiport robotic prostatectomy and intracorporeal versus extracorporeal urinary diversion—studies that have collectively garnered over 50 citations and directly inform surgical decision-making worldwide. A landmark contribution is his team's reflective analysis of 12,000 robotic radical prostatectomies, a rare institutional milestone that offers invaluable insights into long-term outcomes and procedural refinement. Shim has also demonstrated a strong commitment to surgical education, publishing prospective randomized research comparing teaching methods for robotic skill acquisition using virtual reality simulators. His investigations into learning curves, perioperative fluid management, and penile rehabilitation following nerve-sparing surgery reflect a holistic approach to patient outcomes. Across his body of work, Shim has established himself as a rigorous clinician-scientist dedicated to optimizing both oncological and functional results in urological robotic surgery.
