About
Sang Joon Park is a pioneering researcher in urologic oncology and surgical innovation, with a primary focus on improving outcomes for patients with complex renal tumours. His most impactful work centers on the development and clinical validation of personalised three-dimensional (3D) printed transparent kidney models as surgical navigators for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RPN). In a landmark prospective case-matched study (2020), Park demonstrated that these customised models significantly enhance surgical precision for patients with high-complexity tumours (R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score ≥7), enabling more accurate tumour localisation and resection planning. This work, which has garnered 16 citations, represents a major contribution to the field of precision surgery, bridging the gap between advanced imaging and intraoperative guidance. Park’s research has been instrumental in translating 3D printing technology from the engineering lab to the operating room, offering tangible benefits in nephron-sparing surgery. His achievements highlight a commitment to patient-specific medicine, and his studies continue to influence surgical training and preoperative planning in urology. For students and researchers, Park’s work exemplifies how interdisciplinary innovation—combining biomedical engineering, radiology, and surgical technique—can directly improve clinical outcomes.
