About
Dr. Young Eun Yoon is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive robotic surgery for kidney, bladder, and prostate cancers. Her most impactful work demonstrates the feasibility and safety of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for larger T1b renal masses, with a landmark 2016 study (71 citations) showing comparable Trifecta and Pentafecta outcomes to smaller T1a tumors. She has been instrumental in pushing the boundaries of single-site surgery, notably through the first true single-site partial nephrectomy using the novel SP surgical system (26 citations), overcoming limitations of earlier platforms. Dr. Yoon’s contributions extend to optimizing recovery after radical cystectomy, where her research identified analgesic opioid dose (25 citations) and intraoperative fluid volume (24 citations) as critical factors in postoperative ileus. She has also shaped national clinical guidelines as a key author of the Korean Society of Endourology and Robotics recommendations for urolithiasis management (22 citations). Through collaborative multicenter database studies like KORARC, she has provided crucial oncological outcomes data for robot-assisted radical cystectomy and prostatectomy, establishing benchmarks for surgical quality in the Korean population.
