About
Se Young Choi is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic-assisted surgery for kidney and prostate cancers. His major contributions lie in comparing surgical approaches—open, laparoscopic, and robotic—to demonstrate that robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) enables earlier recovery of renal function, a finding supported by his highly cited 2019 study using DTPA renal scintigraphy (22 citations). Choi has also pioneered investigations into single-port versus multiport robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), with a 2023 meta-analysis (18 citations) that helps define optimal minimally invasive techniques. His research extends to improving oncologic precision, as seen in his work on intraoperative frozen sections to predict positive surgical margins (11 citations), and to understanding long-term complications, such as urinary tract infections after prostate cancer treatment (8 citations). Notably, Choi conducted the first reported robotic resection of a juxtaglomerular cell tumor, a rare reninoma, showcasing his ability to apply advanced robotics to uncommon pathologies. With a growing portfolio of meta-analyses and systematic reviews, Choi is shaping evidence-based standards for robotic urologic oncology, directly impacting surgical decision-making and patient outcomes.
