About

Won Kyu Park is a urologic surgeon whose research focuses on improving functional outcomes following robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP), with a particular emphasis on post-prostatectomy incontinence. His most cited work investigates the impact of a retrotrigonal layer backup stitch (RTBS) during RALP, a technical refinement aimed at enhancing early continence recovery. In a comparative study involving 94 patients, Park demonstrated that this additional suture layer can significantly reduce the time to continence, offering a practical, intraoperative strategy to improve patients’ quality of life after surgery. Though his citation count is modest, his contribution addresses a critical challenge in urologic oncology—balancing cancer control with preservation of urinary function. Park’s work represents the kind of focused, technique-driven research that directly informs surgical practice, and his findings have been referenced in subsequent studies on continence-preserving modifications in robotic prostatectomy. His dedication to refining surgical methods underscores a commitment to patient-centered outcomes in the evolving landscape of minimally invasive urologic surgery.
