Sunai Leewansangtong

About

Dr. Sunai Leewansangtong is a pioneering urological surgeon based at Siriraj Hospital, Bangkok, whose work has significantly advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques in Southeast Asia. His primary research focuses on robotic and laparoscopic surgery for prostate and kidney cancers, with a particular emphasis on improving functional outcomes and reducing surgical trauma. Dr. Leewansangtong is recognized for performing the first laparo-endoscopic single site (LESS) robotic radical prostatectomy in an Asian man (2010), a landmark case demonstrating the feasibility of scarless prostate cancer surgery with 17 citations. His six-year experience with robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (2018) critically evaluated arterial clamping techniques to preserve renal function, contributing 10 citations to the field. Additionally, his comparative study on urinary continence outcomes between robotic-assisted and laparoscopic prostatectomy (2014) provided valuable evidence for surgical decision-making, with 6 citations. Through these contributions, Dr. Leewansangtong has established himself as a key figure in advancing robotic urology in Thailand, directly impacting patient recovery and quality of life.
