About
Young Eun Seo is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving post-surgical outcomes for patients with urologic cancers, particularly prostate and bladder cancer. Her most impactful research addresses the critical challenge of erectile dysfunction (ED) following robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). In a landmark 2014 study (18 citations), she demonstrated the long-term efficacy and safety of tadalafil 5 mg once daily for ED treatment over a one-year follow-up, providing a vital management strategy for men recovering from prostate cancer surgery. Beyond sexual function, Seo has also investigated postoperative recovery in bladder cancer patients. Her 2018 study (10 citations) explored the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as patient-controlled analgesia after radical cystectomy, revealing that ketorolac can accelerate early bowel function recovery—a key milestone for reducing hospital stays and complications. By bridging surgical oncology with practical, patient-centered recovery protocols, Seo’s work directly enhances quality of life for cancer survivors. Her research is particularly valuable for clinicians seeking evidence-based approaches to manage the dual burdens of cancer treatment: oncologic control and functional preservation.
