About

Chi-Heum Cho is a gynecologic surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced minimally invasive surgical approaches for gynecologic cancers, with a particular focus on robotic single-site surgery. Based at a leading Korean institution, Cho has pioneered the application of robotic single-site techniques to complex oncologic procedures, including radical hysterectomy and staging operations for early-stage cervical and endometrial cancers. Among his most notable contributions is the development and clinical evaluation of robotic single-site staging for endometrial cancer, establishing surgical guidelines that have helped shape institutional practices. His comparative studies — including a landmark analysis of 62 cases contrasting single-site versus multiport robotic radical hysterectomy — have provided critical evidence supporting the feasibility, safety, and cost considerations of these emerging techniques. His 2020 national survey of robotic surgery trends in Korean gynecology further demonstrates his broader influence on the field's development across the country. With publications spanning nearly a decade and accumulating over 60 citations, Cho's research has helped legitimize robotic single-site surgery as a viable alternative to conventional multiport approaches, offering patients the potential benefits of reduced scarring and comparable oncologic outcomes. His long-term outcome data, published as recently as 2024, continues to strengthen the evidence base for these techniques.
