About
Won Suk Choi is a clinician-researcher whose work bridges urologic oncology and infection control, with a particular focus on improving surgical outcomes and hospital safety. In urology, Choi is known for investigating the predictive value of the Nephrometry Score for perioperative outcomes during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RPN). His 2014 study, cited 28 times, critically assessed whether this anatomical scoring system effectively forecasts surgical complexity and patient recovery in minimally invasive kidney cancer surgery—a contribution that has informed preoperative planning and risk stratification. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Choi pivoted to address urgent public health needs, leading a pioneering 2021 study on the feasibility of ultraviolet light-emitting diode (UV LED) irradiation robots for terminal decontamination of patient rooms. This work, garnering 20 citations, demonstrated a novel, automated approach to reducing viral RNA on environmental surfaces, offering a scalable solution for infection control in healthcare settings. Through these diverse contributions, Choi has demonstrated versatility and impact, advancing both surgical precision and biosecurity in modern medicine.
