About

Jong-Ming Hsu is a urologic surgeon whose research focuses on the comparative outcomes of minimally invasive surgical techniques for prostate cancer, particularly the transition from laparoscopic to robotic-assisted approaches. His most cited work, a 2017 study analyzing a single surgeon’s decade-long experience, retrospectively reviewed 140 prostate cancer patients—100 who underwent laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) and 40 who received robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). This study, cited twice, provides valuable insights into the learning curve and clinical outcomes in a medium-volume center, highlighting the practical challenges and benefits of adopting robotic technology. Hsu’s contributions are significant for surgeons navigating the shift toward robotic surgery, offering real-world data on operative times, complication rates, and oncologic results. While his citation count is modest, his work serves as a pragmatic guide for urologists in similar settings, emphasizing the importance of surgeon experience and institutional resources. Hsu’s research underscores the evolving landscape of prostate cancer treatment, making him a relevant voice in the ongoing discussion of surgical innovation and patient care.
