About

Eunjeong Ko is a leading researcher in gynecologic oncology, with a focused expertise on the ergonomic and occupational health challenges faced by surgeons performing minimally invasive procedures. Her seminal work, "Physical Strain and Urgent Need for Ergonomic Training Among Gynecologic Oncologists who Perform Minimally Invasive Surgery" (2012), has garnered 69 citations and stands as a foundational study in the field. This paper critically highlighted the high prevalence of physical strain among specialists and made a compelling case for integrating ergonomic training into surgical education and practice. By systematically documenting the urgent need for workplace interventions, Ko’s research has directly influenced discussions on surgeon well-being, procedural safety, and the design of surgical instruments. Her contributions bridge the gap between clinical oncology and occupational medicine, offering actionable insights that improve both surgeon longevity and patient outcomes. Ko’s work remains a key reference for researchers and clinicians aiming to reduce occupational injury in high-stakes surgical environments.
