About
Ho-Seong Han is a world-renowned hepatobiliary surgeon whose research has fundamentally shaped the field of minimally invasive liver and pancreas surgery. His work centers on establishing best practices for laparoscopic and robotic hepatectomy and pancreatectomy, with a particular focus on major and technically demanding resections. Dr. Han has been instrumental in developing international consensus guidelines, including the Miami Evidence-based Guidelines on Minimally Invasive Pancreas Resection (478 citations) and the 2023 International Consensus on Robotic Liver Resection (93 citations). He has led landmark multicenter, propensity-score matched studies comparing robotic versus laparoscopic approaches for right, left, and extended hepatectomies—each with over 50 citations—demonstrating the safety and potential advantages of robotic techniques. His contributions also include the Asia Pacific Consensus on Laparoscopic Liver Resection for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (94 citations) and an expert panel statement on laparoscopic living donor hepatectomy (75 citations). With over 1,000 citations across his most influential works, Han’s research provides the evidence base guiding surgeons worldwide in selecting the optimal minimally invasive approach for complex liver and pancreas procedures.
