About
Dr. Jae Seung Kang is a pioneering surgeon advancing the frontiers of minimally invasive hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted techniques. His major contributions center on demonstrating the safety, feasibility, and oncologic efficacy of robotic approaches for complex procedures traditionally performed open. His landmark 2017 study comparing robotic to open pancreaticoduodenectomy (60 citations) helped establish the robotic approach as a viable alternative. Dr. Kang has been instrumental in expanding robotic applications to gallbladder cancer, as evidenced by his 2020 studies on robotic extended cholecystectomy (29 and 27 citations), which showed that minimally invasive techniques can achieve adequate lymph node dissection and liver resection for advanced T2 tumors. His work on single-port robotic cholecystectomy (15 citations) and robotic left lateral sectionectomy (8 citations) further demonstrates his commitment to reducing surgical trauma. Notably, his 2021 analysis of 300 consecutive robotic pancreaticoduodenectomies (15 citations) provided crucial long-term oncologic outcomes, confirming non-inferiority to open surgery. Dr. Kang also contributes to surgical education, developing silicone model simulations for training fellows in robotic pancreaticojejunostomy. With over 200 total citations, his research is shaping the future of minimally invasive pancreatic and biliary surgery.
