About
Eun Sun Kim is a pioneering robotic endoscopist whose work is transforming the landscape of minimally invasive gastrointestinal surgery. Her primary research focuses on the development and clinical translation of robotic-assist devices for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), a technically demanding procedure for removing early-stage GI tumors. Dr. Kim’s major contributions include the invention of a detachable assistant robot and a retractable robotic traction device that provide critical tissue tension and visibility during ESD. Her first-in-human prospective pilot study of a novel robotic arm platform for gastric neoplasms represents a landmark achievement, demonstrating augmented traction in a clinical setting. With over 46 citations across her most-cited works—including a highly influential 2021 feasibility study (19 citations)—her research is rapidly gaining recognition. She has also developed dual-function robotic grippers capable of both traction and defect closure, addressing two key safety challenges in colorectal and gastric ESD. Dr. Kim’s work is not only advancing the field of therapeutic endoscopy but also paving the way for a new era of robot-assisted, minimally invasive cancer care.
