About

Dr. Yoon Jang is a pioneering surgeon at the forefront of intraoperative fluorescence-guided surgery, with a focused expertise in gynecologic and robotic-assisted procedures. His major contributions center on enhancing surgical safety through real-time visualization of critical anatomical structures. In his landmark 2023 study (17 citations), Dr. Jang demonstrated the feasibility of using indocyanine green (ICG) and near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging to navigate the ureters during complex laparoscopic or robot-assisted gynecologic surgery, significantly reducing the risk of iatrogenic injury in high-risk patients. Building on this, his 2024 work (5 citations) extended the technique to robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy, successfully visualizing not only the ureters but also the middle sacral artery and superior hypogastric nerve. This triple-navigation approach represents a notable achievement, offering a comprehensive safety map for pelvic reconstructive surgery. Dr. Jang’s research is directly translating advanced imaging technology into practical, life-saving applications, making complex procedures safer and more precise. His work is a vital resource for surgeons seeking to minimize complications and improve patient outcomes in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.
