About
Dr. Hye Sun Jun is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon whose research centers on advancing intraoperative imaging to prevent critical complications in minimally invasive surgery. Her major contributions lie in developing and validating the use of indocyanine green (ICG) with near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) to create real-time, "fluorescent roadmaps" of delicate anatomical structures. In her landmark 2023 study, she demonstrated the feasibility of ureteral navigation during complex laparoscopic or robotic-assisted gynecologic surgery, a technique that helps surgeons avoid accidental ureteral injury in high-risk patients. This work has already garnered 17 citations, reflecting its immediate clinical relevance. Building on this, her 2024 study extended the technique to robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy, successfully navigating not only the ureters but also the middle sacral artery and superior hypogastric nerve—a triple-target approach that enhances safety in pelvic reconstructive surgery. By transforming invisible anatomy into visible fluorescence, Dr. Jun’s innovations are setting new standards for precision in gynecologic oncology and pelvic floor repair, offering surgeons a powerful tool to reduce morbidity and improve patient outcomes.
