About
Dr. Jawon Hwang is a pioneering surgeon-scientist advancing the field of minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery. His research focuses on three key areas: robotic surgical innovation, fluorescence-guided lymphadenectomy, and optimizing oncologic outcomes. Dr. Hwang’s major contributions include demonstrating the safety and feasibility of reduced-port robotic distal gastrectomy using the da Vinci Single Port system—a landmark Phase I/II clinical trial (26 citations) that promises to minimize surgical trauma. He has also shown that indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescent lymphography significantly improves lymph node harvest in high-BMI patients (13 citations), and his individual patient data meta-analysis (5 citations) provides critical evidence on ICG-guided lymphadenectomy’s impact on survival. Notably, his work on long-term oncologic outcomes of robotic total gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer (7 citations) confirms the durability of robotic approaches. With a growing citation footprint exceeding 50, Dr. Hwang’s research is shaping the next generation of precision, patient-centered gastric cancer surgery—offering enhanced recovery without compromising survival.
