About
Dr. Hee Jin Kang is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon whose research focuses on minimally invasive approaches to complex uterine pathology, particularly fibroid management and fertility preservation. Her most cited work introduces a refined technique for robot-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy targeting FIGO type II sub-mucosal leiomyomas—fibroids with over 50% myometrial extension that traditionally pose high surgical risk. Dr. Kang’s key contribution is a method that completely avoids endometrial injury during resection, a critical advancement for patients desiring future fertility. She demonstrated this technique in a 35-year-old woman with a history of miscarriage, showcasing how robotic precision can spare healthy tissue while removing deeply embedded fibroids. The accompanying narrated video provides a valuable educational resource for surgeons learning this challenging procedure. Though early in her career, Dr. Kang’s work addresses a significant clinical gap: balancing complete fibroid removal with uterine integrity. Her approach directly supports reproductive outcomes, offering hope to patients with recurrent pregnancy loss linked to fibroid distortion. As robotic surgery evolves, Dr. Kang’s contributions stand at the intersection of technical innovation and compassionate, family-building care.
