About
Tag Keun Yoo is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on minimally invasive and robotic surgical techniques for prostate disease, with a particular focus on benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer. His most influential contributions address the evolving landscape of simple prostatectomy, most notably his comparative investigations of open and robotic approaches for managing large BPH. His 2021 study directly contrasting open simple prostatectomy with robotic simple prostatectomy — garnering 27 citations — provided clinicians with critical safety and efficacy data, while his 2020 review paper on robotic simple prostatectomy techniques (26 citations) has served as a practical guide for surgeons adopting this technology. Yoo has also made meaningful contributions to understanding the learning curve associated with robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in lower-volume surgical settings, offering realistic benchmarks for training institutions. His investigation into bladder neck contracture following radical prostatectomy further demonstrates his commitment to improving postoperative outcomes. Collectively, his research equips urologists with evidence-based insights that help refine surgical practice, reduce complications, and expand access to advanced robotic techniques across diverse clinical environments.
