About
Dr. Seung Hyun Cho is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose work centers on refining minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex pelvic cancers, particularly rectal and prostate cancer. His primary research focus is the optimization of lateral pelvic node dissection (LPND), a technically demanding procedure critical for managing locally advanced and recurrent rectal cancer. Dr. Cho’s major contributions include demonstrating how integrating fluorescence imaging and 3D visualization can significantly improve the completeness of LPND, as shown in his highly cited 2019 study (37 citations), which has helped set a new standard for surgical precision. He has also advanced the field by establishing the safety and efficacy of robotic and laparoscopic salvage LPND for recurrent disease, and by providing crucial data on long-term complications following these procedures after chemoradiotherapy. In prostate cancer, his work identifying predictors of extraprostatic extension (10 citations) aids in surgical planning. Through these studies, Dr. Cho is actively shaping protocols to reduce recurrence and improve patient outcomes in challenging pelvic malignancies.
