About
Eun Ji Nam is a pioneering gynecologic oncologist whose research has fundamentally shaped the adoption and refinement of robotic surgery for gynecological cancers, particularly cervical and endometrial carcinoma. Based at Yonsei University Health System in South Korea, Nam has been at the forefront of demonstrating the feasibility, safety, and oncologic equivalence of minimally invasive robotic approaches compared to conventional open and laparoscopic surgery. Her landmark 2007 pilot study on robotic radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy for cervical cancer, now carrying 131 citations, helped establish the foundation for robotic gynecologic oncology. Subsequent contributions — including innovative work on three-arm robotic configurations, single-port transumbilical hysterectomy, and rigorous learning curve analyses — have collectively advanced surgical technique and training standards. Her population-based studies comparing robotic, laparoscopic, and open approaches for endometrial cancer have provided critical real-world evidence informing clinical decision-making globally. More recently, her comparative evaluation of next-generation da Vinci SP and Xi systems underscores her commitment to evolving robotic technology. With over 500 cumulative citations across her most-cited works, Nam's research has meaningfully influenced gynecologic surgical oncology practice internationally, offering patients safer, less invasive treatment pathways without compromising survival outcomes.
