About
Kellen Choi is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in robotic-assisted procedures for kidney cancer and chronic pain conditions. His major contributions include pioneering research on intraoperative mannitol administration during robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, where his randomized, controlled, double-blinded prospective study (2017) and subsequent publication (2018, 15 citations) provided critical evidence on renal function preservation during kidney-sparing surgery. This work has helped refine perioperative protocols for nephron-sparing approaches. Choi also made notable strides in treating chronic orchialgia, a challenging urologic condition, by demonstrating the efficacy of robotic microsurgical spermatic cord denervation in a 2021 case series (7 citations). His research addresses a significant gap in managing patients refractory to conservative therapy, offering a minimally invasive solution with improved precision. With a cumulative impact of over 25 citations, Choi’s contributions are shaping best practices in robotic urology, balancing functional outcomes with surgical innovation. His work is particularly valuable for trainees and researchers interested in the intersection of robotics, renal physiology, and pain management in urologic surgery.
