About
Dr. Sang Won Han is a pioneering pediatric urologist and robotic surgeon whose work centers on minimally invasive surgical techniques for congenital urinary tract anomalies, particularly ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) and renal tumors. His major contributions include advancing robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty in children, notably through the first comparative study of single-port (SP) versus multi-port robotic systems using the da Vinci SP® platform—demonstrating equivalent safety and outcomes with reduced incisions. His 2019 initial experience paper on single-port pyeloplasty (28 citations) established a new paradigm in pediatric robotic surgery. Dr. Han has also extended the feasibility of robotic laparoendoscopic single-site partial nephrectomy to renal tumors larger than 4 cm (26 citations), challenging prior size limitations. His comprehensive 2009 review of UPJO (16 citations) remains a foundational resource, synthesizing diagnostic and management controversies. With over 100 cumulative citations across key works, Dr. Han’s research has directly shaped modern pediatric urologic practice, emphasizing scarless surgery and improved recovery. His work on UPJO in horseshoe kidneys further highlights his commitment to addressing complex anatomical variants.
