About
Dr. Sun Tae Ahn is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), with a particular emphasis on functional outcomes and quality of life. His key research areas include robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP), ejaculation preservation, and comparative effectiveness of novel surgical approaches. Dr. Ahn’s major contribution is the development and evaluation of the urethral-sparing (US) RASP technique, which aims to preserve antegrade ejaculation while achieving effective bladder outlet relief. In his most-cited study (2024, 7 citations), he retrospectively compared US-RASP to traditional trans-vesical RASP, demonstrating that the urethral-sparing approach offers comparable perioperative safety and superior functional outcomes, including significantly higher rates of ejaculation preservation. This work addresses a critical unmet need in BPH surgery, where patients increasingly value the maintenance of sexual function alongside symptom relief. Dr. Ahn’s research has been recognized for its clinical relevance and patient-centered focus, contributing to the growing body of evidence supporting tailored surgical strategies in urology. His findings are particularly valuable for surgeons seeking to optimize both voiding and sexual outcomes in men undergoing prostate surgery.
