About
Sey Kiat Lim is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive and robotic urological surgery. His research spans prostate cancer surgery, kidney surgery, adrenal procedures, and upper urinary tract malignancies, with a particular focus on optimizing surgical techniques to improve patient outcomes. Lim's most influential contribution is his pioneering work on Retzius-sparing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP), which garnered 143 citations and demonstrated superior early continence recovery by combining the advantages of retropubic and perineal surgical approaches. This work has meaningfully shaped how surgeons approach prostate cancer surgery worldwide. His research into extended versus standard lymph node dissection during robotic prostatectomy (58 citations) further refined oncological staging protocols for intermediate- and high-risk disease. Beyond prostate cancer, Lim has made notable contributions in partial nephrectomy, developing a novel mathematical model to predict postoperative renal function, and advancing laparoendoscopic single-site robotic techniques that reduce postoperative pain without increased complications. His work on robotic adrenalectomy and nephroureterectomy reflects a broad commitment to expanding minimally invasive surgery across urology. Collectively, his research has helped establish robotic surgery as a gold standard in urological oncology.
