About

Dr. Yongda Liu is a pioneering urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for prostate cancer treatment, with a particular focus on single-site and robotic-assisted approaches. His major contributions include the development and refinement of extraperitoneal single-site robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (ssRARP) with extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND), a technique that offers enhanced precision and reduced invasiveness for patients with locally advanced or high-risk localized prostate cancer. Dr. Liu’s research demonstrates that this approach provides accurate staging information while minimizing surgical trauma, as evidenced by his 2025 paper on the subject, which has already garnered 3 citations. His forward-looking perspective is further showcased in his 2025 work on the "intriguing future" of ssRARP, which has earned 2 citations and highlights the transformative potential of single-port technologies and advanced robotic instrumentation. Dr. Liu’s contributions are shaping the next generation of urological surgery, offering patients safer, more effective options for prostate cancer management.
