About
Dr. Sue-Jean Yu is a pioneering robotic surgeon whose research focuses on optimizing surgical techniques and outcomes in urologic oncology, particularly robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer. Her major contributions include demonstrating the benefits of a valveless trocar system during RARP, showing improved intra-operative parameters and peri-operative outcomes (33 citations), and developing a novel robot-assisted transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block technique that offers superior postoperative pain control compared to traditional methods (29 citations). Dr. Yu has also advanced the understanding of surgical margins in high-risk prostate cancer, analyzing trends in positive surgical margins among pT3 patients to refine surgical approaches and improve oncologic outcomes. Her work on the impact of prior transurethral prostate surgery on continence and oncologic results after RARP provides crucial guidance for patient selection and surgical planning. With over 100 citations across her key publications, Dr. Yu’s research directly enhances surgical precision, reduces complications, and improves quality of life for prostate cancer patients, establishing her as a leading voice in robotic urologic surgery.
