Research Interests

Dr. Su's clinical interests are in minimally invasive surgical therapies for kidney cancer and robotic prostatectomy for prostate cancer.

His research focuses on exploring image-guided surgery for prostate and kidney cancer, robotic simulation and virtual reality, renal ischemia biomarkers and trialing new minimally invasive biomedical technology and optical imaging.

Specialties: Robotic and laparoscopic surgery for prostate, urothelial and kidney cancer, adrenal tumors, and kidney obstruction (pyeloplasty)
