About
Phuc Ho Thi is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of urologic oncology and robotic surgery. Her research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex urologic procedures, with key contributions in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, partial nephrectomy, and ureteral reconstruction. She has been instrumental in evaluating the learning curve for experienced laparoscopic surgeons transitioning to robotic platforms, demonstrating that prior laparoscopic experience can significantly shorten the adaptation period for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy—a finding with over 43 citations that has shaped surgical training protocols worldwide. Thi also developed and refined the robot-assisted Boari flap technique for ureteral reimplantation, offering patients a less invasive alternative to traditional open surgery. Her recent work, including the multicenter, randomized 3DPN trial, explores how virtual interactive 3D modeling can improve outcomes in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, pushing the boundaries of surgical precision. With multiple highly cited publications and a growing portfolio of clinical trials, Thi is recognized as a leader in integrating cutting-edge technology with urologic surgery, directly improving patient care and surgical education.
