About
Dr. Li-Ming Su is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose career has been defined by advancing robotic and minimally invasive surgical techniques. As the David A. Cofrin Professor of Urology and Chief of the Division of Robotic and Minimally Invasive Urologic Surgery at the University of Florida, his primary research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for prostate cancer. His most impactful work, a critical analysis of laparoscopic and robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (246 citations), established foundational benchmarks for comparing these techniques. Dr. Su is also a visionary in surgical technology, demonstrated by his development of the "RoboConsultant," a novel mobile robotic interface for telementoring and remote presence in the operating room (89 citations). He has rigorously evaluated surgical performance, notably comparing robotic camera holders like EndoAssist and AESOP, and has highlighted the often-overlooked critical role of the surgical assistant. Through these contributions, Dr. Su has not only refined surgical practice but also expanded the very definition of what is possible in urologic care, cementing his reputation as both a technical innovator and a dedicated educator.
