About
Won Hoon Song is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing nerve-sparing techniques in robotic prostate surgery. His most significant contribution is the development of a novel intraoperative monitoring and mapping method for the cavernous nerve during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. In a landmark Phase I/II first-in-human feasibility study, Song demonstrated that real-time nerve stimulation and electromyographic recording could help surgeons preserve erectile function without compromising oncologic outcomes. This work, which has garnered 23 citations, represents a critical step toward reducing post-surgical complications in prostate cancer patients. Song’s research bridges the gap between functional preservation and surgical precision, offering a practical solution to one of urologic oncology’s most challenging problems. His innovative approach to nerve mapping has the potential to become a standard adjunct in robotic prostate surgery, improving quality of life for thousands of men undergoing treatment.
