About
Bang Wool Eom is a leading figure in the surgical treatment of gastric cancer, with a focused expertise in comparing robotic and laparoscopic gastrectomy techniques. His most influential work, including a 2011 study on robot-assisted total gastrectomy (125 citations), systematically evaluates whether robotic surgery offers tangible benefits over conventional laparoscopy for early-stage disease. Eom’s research rigorously examines key outcomes such as surgical stress response, cost implications (110 citations), and the quality of suprapancreatic nodal dissection (73 citations), providing crucial data for surgeons weighing these advanced approaches. He has also investigated the impact of patient-specific factors, such as visceral obesity, on surgical outcomes. With over 500 total citations, Eom’s contributions extend beyond comparative studies; he co-authored the 2023 Korean Gastric Cancer Association nationwide survey (22 citations), a landmark effort documenting surgical trends across the country. Through his methodical comparisons and national-level data analysis, Bang Wool Eom has helped define the evidence base for robotic gastric cancer surgery, guiding clinical decision-making in this rapidly evolving field.
