About
Dr. Seock Hwan Choi is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on prostate cancer treatment, surgical innovation, and post-operative patient outcomes. His major contributions span two critical domains: improving surgical techniques and understanding the environmental and functional consequences of urologic procedures. Notably, his most-cited study (34 citations) pioneered the analysis of volatile organic compounds in surgical smoke during laparoscopic surgery, revealing its impact on indoor air quality in operating rooms—a vital patient safety concern. In prostate cancer care, Dr. Choi has advanced robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP), demonstrating in a 5-year follow-up study (4 citations) its oncological and functional efficacy. He has also addressed post-surgical challenges, including a landmark comparison (13 citations) showing that early low-intensity shock wave therapy plus daily tadalafil outperforms tadalafil alone for erectile dysfunction rehabilitation. His work on postoperative cystographic findings (11 citations) identified a novel predictor of early urinary incontinence, directly informing clinical decision-making. Additionally, Dr. Choi has tackled rare conditions, such as solitary testicular metastasis of prostate cancer (28 citations), and refined open surgical techniques to mirror robotic approaches. With over 100 cumulative citations, his research bridges surgical precision, patient quality of life, and occupational health, establishing him as a versatile innovator in urologic oncology.
