About

Dr. Gyu Seok Cho is a leading gastric cancer surgeon whose research has fundamentally advanced the field of minimally invasive gastrectomy. His work focuses on comparing and refining surgical techniques—specifically open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches—to improve patient outcomes. Dr. Cho’s major contributions include demonstrating the safety and feasibility of reduced-port and single-port (SP) robotic gastrectomy, as evidenced by his phase I/II clinical trial using the da Vinci SP system. He has also pioneered techniques for robotic spleen-preserving splenic hilar lymph node dissection and integrated robotic surgery combining Single-Site® platforms with fluorescence image guidance. His landmark 2017 study comparing surgical outcomes across open, laparoscopic, and robotic gastrectomy has garnered 113 citations, while his analysis of leakage after gastrectomy, drawing from a massive cohort of 14,075 patients, provides critical insights into complication management. With multiple studies showing lower conversion rates and superior outcomes for robotic approaches, Dr. Cho’s work is shaping the standard of care for gastric cancer surgery worldwide.
