About
Dr. Yih Chyn Phan is a urological surgeon whose research focuses on expanding the applications of robotic-assisted surgery, particularly for complex and benign urological conditions. Her major contributions lie in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic techniques in challenging clinical scenarios, such as performing a robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy on a patient with pelvic lipomatosis—a rare condition that significantly complicates surgical access. This pioneering work, detailed in her most-cited paper (2020, 4 citations), highlights her ability to adapt advanced technology to unique patient anatomies. Additionally, her single-institution experience (2021, 1 citation) with robotic-assisted surgeries for renal calyceal diverticulectomies, heminephrectomy, and bladder diverticulectomies provides valuable evidence that robotic systems are effective not only for oncologic procedures but also for managing benign diseases. By documenting these cases, Dr. Phan helps bridge a critical gap in the literature, offering guidance to surgeons navigating similar complex operations. Her work underscores a commitment to pushing the boundaries of minimally invasive urology, improving patient outcomes through precision and innovation.
