About
Dr. Kyung Eun Min is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the intersection of surgical oncology, medical imaging, and precision medicine in prostate cancer care. Her most cited study, "Effect of bony pelvic dimensions measured by preoperative magnetic resonance imaging on performing robot‐assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy" (2009, 46 citations), represents a landmark contribution to the field. In this exploratory investigation of 141 patients, Dr. Min demonstrated how preoperative MRI measurements of pelvic anatomy could predict surgical difficulty and outcomes in robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). This work fundamentally advanced the concept of personalized surgical planning, enabling surgeons to anticipate technical challenges and optimize patient selection for minimally invasive procedures. By establishing quantitative imaging biomarkers as predictors of operative complexity, Dr. Min's research has helped reduce surgical complications and improve oncologic outcomes. Her findings continue to influence preoperative assessment protocols in robotic urologic surgery worldwide, bridging the gap between radiology and surgical technique. Dr. Min's contributions exemplify how translational research can directly enhance clinical decision-making and patient safety in complex oncologic procedures.
