About
Dr. Yoon Soo Kyung is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for prostate and kidney cancers. Her major contributions lie in comparative effectiveness research, where she has systematically evaluated the safety and outcomes of robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) versus traditional open surgery. In her highly cited 2013 study (23 citations), she provided crucial evidence on postoperative complications from a single-surgeon series of 341 patients, helping to establish the safety profile of robotic approaches in prostate cancer treatment. Dr. Kyung has also been at the forefront of surgical innovation, as demonstrated by her 2024 work on 4D-printed, patient-specific surgical guides for laparoscopic partial nephrectomy—a novel approach to improving precision in kidney-sparing surgery. Her 2012 study on limited pelvic lymph node dissection (247 open and 354 robot-assisted cases) further contributed to understanding optimal lymph node management in Korean prostate cancer patients. Through these impactful studies, Dr. Kyung has helped shape modern urologic oncology practice, particularly in the adoption of robotic surgery and personalized surgical planning.
