About
Dr. Suthep Patcharatrakul is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in robotic-assisted laparoscopic procedures for complex patient populations. His most notable contribution is the introduction and refinement of the Retzius space preservation technique for robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy, which he first demonstrated in a kidney transplant patient—a landmark case in Thailand. This innovative approach, detailed in his highly cited 2016 publication, preserves critical anatomical structures to improve postoperative continence and reduce complications, offering safer outcomes for transplant recipients and other high-risk patients. With over a decade of clinical experience, Dr. Patcharatrakul has significantly impacted urologic oncology by adapting advanced robotic methods to unique surgical challenges. His work has garnered 12 citations for this seminal paper, reflecting its influence on surgical practice in Southeast Asia. As a trailblazer in Thai urology, he continues to train surgeons and expand access to state-of-the-art robotic surgery, bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and patient-centered care.
