Jae Uk Chong

About

Dr. Jae Uk Chong is a pioneering hepatobiliary and pancreatic (HBP) surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive robotic surgery. His major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and safety of complex robotic procedures, notably through his landmark 2017 paper on robotic hepatectomy (99 citations), which provided crucial insights from the Korean experience—a region with a uniquely high adoption of general robotic surgery. Dr. Chong has also been instrumental in developing and validating novel platforms, such as the Korean-made Revo-i system, for which he performed the first preclinical robotic cholecystectomy (20 citations). His innovative "robotic single-site plus one port" technique, detailed in his 2023 study (8 citations) and a 2019 case report on pancreas enucleation (8 citations), expands the boundaries of minimally invasive HBP surgery by overcoming traditional single-site limitations. Through these achievements, Dr. Chong has significantly shaped the landscape of robotic HBP surgery, driving both technological adoption and procedural refinement.
