About
Dr. Jee Won Suh is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for esophageal and lung cancers. Her major contributions lie in refining robotic-assisted thoracoscopic esophagectomy (RATE) and four-arm robotic lobectomy (FARL), procedures that aim to improve oncologic outcomes while reducing surgical trauma. In her landmark 2016 study on esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, Dr. Suh demonstrated that RATE with total mediastinal lymphadenectomy achieves favorable oncologic results, a work that has garnered 37 citations and helped establish robotic esophagectomy as a viable alternative to open surgery. Her 2017 investigation into FARL as a solo surgical technique for stage I non-small cell lung cancer further showcases her innovative approach, comparing early outcomes and long-term survival against video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy. Although citation counts for this study are modest, its focus on feasibility and solo surgery highlights her commitment to streamlining complex procedures. Dr. Suh’s work bridges the gap between technological innovation and clinical application, offering patients safer, more precise options for cancer treatment. Her research continues to shape the future of thoracic oncology, inspiring surgeons to embrace robotic platforms for enhanced surgical precision and patient recovery.
