About

Yun Ho Roh is a leading researcher in surgical outcomes and health economics, with a primary focus on the cost-effectiveness of minimally invasive procedures, particularly robotic surgery for rectal cancer. His major contributions lie in rigorously evaluating whether the higher costs of robotic surgery are justified by improved short-term outcomes compared to laparoscopic surgery. Through propensity score-matching analyses, Roh has provided critical evidence that helps surgeons and policymakers weigh clinical benefits against financial burdens. His most cited work, "Cost-Effectiveness of Robotic Surgery for Rectal Cancer Focusing on Short-Term Outcomes" (2015), has garnered 69 citations, underscoring its influence in shaping surgical decision-making and healthcare resource allocation. Roh’s research is notable for its methodological rigor, addressing a pressing question in modern oncology: how to balance technological advancement with economic sustainability. By clarifying the cost-effectiveness of robotic approaches, his work directly impacts clinical guidelines and hospital budgeting. For students and researchers in surgical oncology and health policy, Roh’s studies offer a model for integrating economic analysis into clinical research, demonstrating how evidence-based medicine can guide the adoption of expensive technologies without compromising patient care.
