About
Dr. Seung-Kwon Choi is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving functional outcomes in prostate cancer surgery, particularly after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His most impactful contribution is a landmark 2019 study (60 citations) demonstrating that preserving the integrity of the urethral sphincter complex during nerve-sparing RARP is critical for long-term continence. Dr. Choi also pioneered a bladder neck plication stitch technique, validated in a randomized clinical trial (25 citations), which significantly accelerates the return of urinary control—a common and distressing complication for patients. His comparative analysis of open versus robotic surgery in high-risk prostate cancer (18 citations) provided key evidence supporting the oncologic safety of the robotic approach, showing comparable biochemical recurrence-free survival. Additionally, his systematic review on preoperative detrusor overactivity (9 citations) helps identify patients at greater risk for post-prostatectomy incontinence, enabling more personalized surgical planning. Through these contributions, Dr. Choi has directly shaped modern surgical techniques that prioritize both cancer control and patients' quality of life.
