About
Joongwon Choi is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving surgical outcomes for patients with urologic cancers, particularly prostate and bladder cancer. His major contributions lie in evidence-based surgical optimization, demonstrated through systematic reviews and large-scale database analyses. His most-cited work, a 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis on bladder neck sparing during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), rigorously evaluates how this technique affects postoperative urinary continence and positive margin rates—a critical trade-off for cancer control versus quality of life. This study, with 3 citations, provides surgeons with actionable data to refine their approach. In another key study, Choi leveraged the multicenter KORARC database to investigate the impact of preoperative smoking history on complications and survival after radical cystectomy for bladder cancer, offering insights into modifiable risk factors that can guide preoperative counseling. Though early in his career, his work is already shaping clinical decision-making in robotic urologic oncology, highlighting his commitment to translating real-world data into improved patient outcomes.
