About

Dr. Juliana Kim is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive prostate cancer surgery. Her primary research focus lies in the development, refinement, and clinical implementation of single-port (SP) robotic surgical techniques, particularly for radical prostatectomy. Dr. Kim’s major contribution is her landmark study, "Single-Port Robotic Radical Prostatectomy: Short-Term Outcomes and Learning Curve" (2022), which represents the largest case series of its kind. This work provided critical, real-world evidence on the feasibility and safety of the da Vinci SP system for prostate cancer treatment, offering the first robust analysis of both short-term patient outcomes and the surgical learning curve required for adoption. By demonstrating that this advanced, less-invasive approach could be performed effectively, her research has directly influenced surgical practice and expanded options for patients. With over 30 citations, this seminal paper has become a foundational reference for surgeons worldwide. Dr. Kim’s work stands at the forefront of a paradigm shift, making her a leading voice in the future of robotic urologic oncology.
