About

Young Hoon Roh is a pioneering hepatobiliary and minimally invasive surgeon whose work has significantly advanced laparoscopic and robotic surgery in Korea. His research focuses on major liver resections, cholecystectomy techniques, and bariatric surgery, with a particular emphasis on comparing surgical platforms and training paradigms. Roh led a landmark multicenter study on laparoscopic major liver resection in Korea, analyzing over 1,000 cases from 2001 to 2011, which remains his most cited work with 69 citations. He has been instrumental in evaluating the efficacy of robotic versus laparoscopic approaches, as demonstrated by his retrospective cohort study on cholecystectomy (45 citations). Notably, Roh has championed the integration of robotic technology into surgical training, publishing foundational work on resident education in robotic cholecystectomy. His investigations into single-port techniques for obese patients and hybrid robotic gastric bypass further underscore his commitment to refining surgical outcomes. Through these contributions, Roh has helped establish evidence-based guidelines for adopting advanced minimally invasive platforms, solidifying his reputation as a leader in surgical innovation and education.
