About

Dr. Yeon-Jin Moon is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving surgical outcomes for prostate cancer patients, with a particular focus on renal function and perioperative complications. Her most cited study, a 2016 comparative analysis of acute kidney injury (AKI) after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy versus retropubic radical prostatectomy, has garnered 37 citations and remains a key reference in urologic oncology. This work highlighted that patients undergoing radical prostatectomy face elevated AKI risks due to intraoperative bleeding, obstructive uropathy, and advanced age, establishing a critical framework for risk stratification and postoperative monitoring. Dr. Moon’s contributions have advanced understanding of how minimally invasive surgical approaches impact renal health, directly influencing clinical protocols to reduce AKI incidence and improve long-term patient outcomes. Her research bridges urology and nephrology, demonstrating a commitment to patient safety and evidence-based surgical care. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Moon continues to shape best practices in prostate cancer surgery, making her a notable voice in the field of urologic oncology.
