About
Jeong Hee Han is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic-assisted surgery for colorectal cancers. Her major contributions include the development of a universal suprapubic approach for complete mesocolic excision and central vascular ligation using the da Vinci Xi® system, a method that streamlines both right and left hemicolectomies through a single docking procedure. This innovation, detailed in her most-cited paper (22 citations), reduces operative complexity and improves patient outcomes by enabling a Pfannenstiel extraction site. Han’s research also critically evaluates the role of robotic surgery in rectal cancer treatment, as seen in her 2024 work comparing pathological outcomes of robot-assisted versus open surgery. With a focus on optimizing surgical precision and oncological safety, her studies have influenced clinical practices in colorectal oncology. Han’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging cadaveric models to real-world clinical cases, demonstrating translational impact. Her work continues to shape the future of robotic colorectal surgery, offering safer, more effective options for patients.
