About
Jai Young Cho is a pioneering hepatobiliary and pancreatic (HPB) surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of minimally invasive liver surgery. His primary research areas include laparoscopic and robotic living donor hepatectomy, complex biliary surgery, and the multidisciplinary management of hepatobiliary malignancies. Dr. Cho has been instrumental in establishing the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive techniques for liver resection and transplantation. His landmark contributions include leading multicenter studies that demonstrated the feasibility of laparoscopic major liver resections across Korea (69 citations) and co-authoring the expert panel statement that set global standards for laparoscopic living donor hepatectomy (75 citations). His work on the largest multicenter comparison of robotic and laparoscopic right lobe living donation (30 citations) has been pivotal in shaping current surgical practice. With a cumulative impact exceeding 300 citations across his most-cited works, Dr. Cho has also advanced the management of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder cancer, bringing precision medicine approaches to perioperative care. His innovative techniques, including robot-assisted single-incision liver surgery, continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in HPB surgery.
