About
Dr. Sae Woong Kim is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive prostate cancer surgery, particularly through the refinement of robotic and laparoscopic techniques. His most impactful contribution is the pioneering of extraperitoneal single-port robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (SP-RARP), a novel approach designed to reduce patient trauma and improve recovery. In a landmark 2024 study involving 100 patients, Dr. Kim demonstrated the procedure’s feasibility and safety, while introducing innovative methods to maintain instrument positioning—a critical technical challenge. This work, which has already garnered 8 citations, is shaping the future of single-port urologic surgery. His research also extends to understanding functional outcomes, as shown in his 2015 study on changes in nocturia and lower urinary tract symptoms following radical prostatectomy. By analyzing 96 patients, he provided valuable insights into how surgery impacts quality of life. With a focus on surgical innovation and patient-centered outcomes, Dr. Kim’s contributions are helping to define next-generation standards in prostate cancer care.
