About
Jungyo Suh is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work bridges surgical innovation and patient-specific outcomes in prostate cancer and upper urinary tract reconstruction. His research focuses on the interplay between patient factors—particularly obesity and age—and surgical approaches in urologic oncology. In a landmark multi-institutional study with over 3,000 patients, Suh demonstrated that the degree of obesity differentially affects biochemical recurrence risk after radical prostatectomy, depending on whether the surgery is performed robotically or via an open approach—a finding that helps tailor surgical counseling. He has also provided critical long-term evidence (minimum 5-year follow-up) showing comparable oncologic outcomes between robot-assisted and open radical prostatectomy for high-risk prostate cancer with seminal vesicle invasion, supporting the oncologic safety of minimally invasive techniques. Beyond oncology, Suh has investigated robotic pyeloplasty across pediatric and adult populations, revealing that age does not significantly impact surgical outcomes for ureteropelvic junction obstruction. With his papers accumulating over 16 citations, Suh’s work is shaping evidence-based, individualized surgical decision-making in urology.
