About
Myung-Soo Choo is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving functional outcomes after prostate cancer surgery. His primary research areas include post-prostatectomy urinary complications, particularly acute urinary retention and incontinence, with a strong focus on evidence-based perioperative management. Dr. Choo’s major contributions include conducting a landmark prospective randomized controlled trial (2013, 25 citations) that demonstrated the efficacy of tamsulosin in reducing acute urinary retention following early catheter removal after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy—a finding that directly informs clinical protocols to enhance patient recovery. He also led a systematic review and meta-analysis (2015, 9 citations) that clarified the role of preoperative urodynamic detrusor overactivity as a predictor of post-prostatectomy incontinence, providing urologists with critical insights for preoperative counseling and risk stratification. Through these rigorous studies, Dr. Choo has advanced the understanding of bladder dysfunction after prostate surgery, helping to minimize patient morbidity and improve quality of life. His work remains highly cited in the field of urologic oncology and functional urology.
