About
Dr. Allen Sim is a pioneering urological surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex urologic oncology and reconstruction. His major contributions lie in standardizing and proving the reproducibility of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal urinary diversion, a technically demanding procedure. Dr. Sim’s work has been instrumental in demonstrating that these complex surgeries can be safely and effectively duplicated beyond a few centers of excellence, as evidenced by his highly cited 2015 paper on the topic (43 citations). He has also innovated in intracorporeal neobladder formation, introducing the simplified "Y Pouch Neobladder" technique (22 citations), and has advanced the field of ureteric reconstruction through his work on totally intracorporeal ileal ureter replacement using both laparoscopic and robotic approaches (30 and 20 citations). Beyond oncology, his research explores postoperative pain management, including a randomized trial on caudal block for robotic prostatectomy. With over 160 citations across his key works, Dr. Sim is recognized as a leader in making complex robotic reconstructive urology safer, more standardized, and more accessible.
