About

Jae-Ho Cheong is a leading figure in gastric cancer surgery, with a career focused on refining surgical techniques and improving patient outcomes. His research centers on the comparative safety and efficacy of minimally invasive approaches—including laparoscopic and robotic gastrectomy—versus traditional open surgery. A cornerstone of his work, the 2012 study "Major early complications following open, laparoscopic and robotic gastrectomy," has garnered 151 citations, providing critical evidence on the technical safety of these rapidly adopted methods. Cheong has also advanced the field by exploring minimally invasive surgery for remnant gastric cancer, a challenging clinical scenario, and by spearheading international collaborations to optimize treatment strategies. Notably, his 2016 retrospective analysis of patients from high-volume hospitals in Korea and China (25 citations) exemplifies his commitment to cross-institutional, data-driven improvements in care. Through these contributions, Cheong has helped shape modern surgical practice, offering clear benchmarks for complication rates and demonstrating the feasibility of advanced techniques. His work remains essential reading for surgeons and researchers striving to balance innovation with patient safety in gastric cancer treatment.
