About
Phichaya Sujijantararat is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work has advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques for prostate cancer, particularly within Asian populations. His key research area centers on laparo-endoscopic single-site (LESS) robotic surgery, a field he helped introduce to the region. His most notable contribution is the first reported case of LESS robotic radical prostatectomy in an Asian man, detailed in his 2010 case report, which has garnered 17 citations. This landmark procedure demonstrated the feasibility of reducing surgical trauma through a single incision while maintaining oncologic efficacy, addressing a critical gap in adapting Western-developed robotic techniques for Asian patients. The work showcased his technical expertise at the Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Bangkok, where he treated a 71-year-old patient with a prostate-specific antigen level of 16. By proving that LESS robotic surgery could be safely performed in this demographic, Sujijantararat opened new avenues for scarless cancer treatment in Asia, influencing subsequent research and clinical practice. His contributions underscore a commitment to innovation in urologic oncology, making him a respected figure in the evolution of robotic-assisted surgery.
