About

Hongman Yoon is a leading surgical oncologist whose research focuses on minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery, particularly the clinical and economic implications of robotic and laparoscopic approaches. His most-cited work, "Surgical stress after robot-assisted distal gastrectomy and its economic implications" (110 citations), provides a pivotal comparison of surgical stress responses and costs between robot-assisted and laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy. This study, one of the earliest to evaluate both physiological outcomes and economic feasibility, has significantly shaped the debate on the adoption of robotic techniques in gastric cancer treatment. Yoon’s contributions extend to optimizing surgical protocols, reducing postoperative complications, and improving patient recovery. His research has been instrumental in demonstrating that while robotic surgery may reduce surgical stress, its higher costs require careful consideration in clinical decision-making. With over 110 citations on this single paper, Yoon’s work has influenced both surgical practice and healthcare policy, making him a key figure in the evolution of minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery.
