About
Dr. John Shyi Peng Yuen is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic and image-guided interventions for prostate and kidney cancers. His most impactful contribution is the development of an ultrasound-guided robotic system for transperineal prostate biopsy, a prototype that laid the groundwork for precise, minimally invasive cancer detection (52 citations). Dr. Yuen has been instrumental in refining biopsy strategies, demonstrating that combining MRI-targeted with transperineal template biopsy improves risk stratification for low-risk prostate cancer patients on active surveillance, helping to reduce overtreatment. His meta-analysis comparing off-clamp versus on-clamp robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (16 citations) provides critical evidence for optimizing kidney-sparing surgery. A notable achievement is his work transitioning robotic prostate biopsy from the operating theatre to the clinic under local anaesthesia, making the procedure more accessible and patient-friendly. Most recently, he has shared early clinical outcomes and technical insights on adopting the hinotori™ robotic surgical system, showcasing his leadership in evaluating next-generation platforms. With a career spanning two decades, Dr. Yuen’s research directly shapes safer, more accurate urologic care.
