About
Byung Soh Min is a prominent colorectal surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped the evidence base for robotic and minimally invasive surgery in rectal and colorectal cancer. Based at a leading institution, Min has focused his career on evaluating and refining robotic surgical techniques—particularly robotic low anterior resection and total mesorectal excision—comparing their oncologic and perioperative outcomes against laparoscopic and open approaches. His 2014 study on long-term oncologic outcomes of robotic low anterior resection (244 citations) and his 2012 comparison of robotic versus open and laparoscopic surgery for mid and low rectal cancer (197 citations) are landmark contributions that helped establish robotic surgery as a credible standard-of-care option. Min has also made significant methodological contributions by rigorously characterizing the learning curve of robotic rectal surgery across multiple dimensions, providing practical guidance for surgeons adopting the technology. His systematic review of robotic colorectal surgery and technical innovations—including dual docking strategies and universal suprapubic approaches using the da Vinci Xi system—further demonstrate his breadth. With over 970 combined citations across his top works, Min's research continues to influence surgical training and practice internationally.
