About
Yuzhi Phuah is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on optimizing surgical outcomes for prostate cancer, with a particular focus on robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His major contributions lie in comparative effectiveness research and evidence-based postoperative care. In his most cited study, a propensity-matched analysis from a high-volume tertiary centre, Phuah demonstrated that salvage RARP for locally recurrent prostate cancer after nonsurgical primary treatment yields comparable outcomes to primary RARP—a critical finding that expands treatment options for patients with recurrence. This work has garnered 28 citations, reflecting its clinical relevance. Phuah has also advanced perioperative protocols, notably through recommendations to reduce unnecessary blood tests after RARP, a practice change that can lower healthcare costs and patient burden. His research consistently emphasizes data-driven refinement of surgical care, balancing oncological efficacy with quality of life. For students and researchers, Phuah’s work exemplifies how rigorous comparative studies can directly inform surgical decision-making and streamline recovery pathways in modern urologic oncology.
