About

Dr. Seung Jun Son is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for prostate and kidney cancers. His major contributions lie in evaluating and comparing the outcomes of robot-assisted procedures against traditional open surgery. In a landmark single-surgeon study, Dr. Son demonstrated that robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) facilitates significantly faster continence recovery compared to open radical retropubic prostatectomy, a finding that has helped guide surgical decision-making for localized prostate cancer (25 citations). He has also critically assessed the utility of the Nephrometry Score for predicting perioperative outcomes during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, providing valuable insights into risk stratification for patients with small renal masses (28 citations). By rigorously analyzing functional recovery and surgical efficacy, Dr. Son’s work has directly contributed to the evidence base supporting the adoption of robotic platforms in urologic oncology. His research continues to shape best practices, helping surgeons optimize both oncologic control and postoperative quality of life for their patients.
