About
Dr. Jeongyun Jeong is a leading urologic surgeon whose research has fundamentally advanced the field of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer. His work focuses on optimizing the delicate balance between oncologic control and postoperative functional outcomes, particularly regarding nerve-sparing techniques and patient quality of life. Dr. Jeong’s most cited study (87 citations) provides a critical comparison of interfascial versus intrafascial nerve-sparing approaches, offering evidence-based guidance for preserving erectile function without compromising cancer clearance. He also pioneered the pathologic evaluation of the prostatic anterior fat pad (21 citations), a now-standard practice for detecting occult lymph node metastases. Further demonstrating his commitment to patient-centered outcomes, Dr. Jeong systematically applied the Clavien classification to RARP complications (17 citations) and investigated how preoperative lower urinary tract symptoms impact postoperative health-related quality of life. His body of work, including early assessments of patient satisfaction, has helped establish RARP as a safe, effective, and quality-of-life-preserving option for localized prostate cancer, making him a key contributor to modern urologic oncology.
