About
Dr. U‑Syn Ha is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive robotic surgery for urologic cancers, with a particular focus on single-port (SP) and retroperitoneal approaches. His major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and safety of retroperitoneal single-port robot-assisted nephroureterectomy and partial nephrectomy, techniques that reduce patient trauma and recovery time. Notably, his propensity score-matched comparison of single-port versus multi-port robotic partial nephrectomy (17 citations) showed comparable outcomes with potential advantages for the SP approach. Dr. Ha has also innovated in prostate surgery, describing the extraperitoneal single-port robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in a cohort of 100 patients and developing a urethra-sparing technique for simple prostatectomy that preserves antegrade ejaculation. His comparative study of survival outcomes between robotic prostatectomy and radiation therapy in elderly patients (5 citations) provides valuable guidance for treatment decisions. With multiple papers published in 2023–2024, Dr. Ha is at the forefront of defining the next generation of urologic robotic surgery, pushing the boundaries of what is possible through smaller incisions and novel anatomical approaches.
