About
Min Soo Choo is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work spans prostate cancer surgery, urolithiasis, and minimally invasive treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). His most influential contributions focus on optimizing surgical outcomes for prostate cancer patients, particularly through detailed analyses of how prostate volume and positive surgical margins affect oncological and functional results after radical prostatectomy. His 2013 study comparing robot-assisted laparoscopic to open retropubic prostatectomy (27 citations) provided critical insights into the impact of prostate volume on recovery, while his multi-institutional work on predictors of positive surgical margins (13 citations) has helped refine surgical planning in Korean men. Choo also played a key role in developing the Korean Society of Endourology and Robotics (KSER) evidence-based recommendations for urolithiasis diagnosis and treatment (2023, 22 citations), a widely referenced clinical guideline. His recent investigations into robotic flexible ureteroscopy and urolithiasis in kidney transplant patients demonstrate his commitment to advancing endoscopic surgery. With over 90 cumulative citations across his most-cited works, Choo’s research bridges the gap between traditional open surgery and modern robotic techniques, offering practical guidance for urologists seeking to improve patient outcomes through tailored, minimally invasive approaches.
