About
Jeong In Hong is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose work is redefining minimally invasive approaches to lung cancer and mediastinal surgery. His research centers on the evolution of robotic-assisted thoracic surgery, with a specific focus on reducing surgical trauma without compromising oncologic outcomes. Hong’s major contributions include the development and refinement of novel access techniques, such as the subxiphoid and biportal approaches for thymectomy and the two-port method for robotic lobectomy in non-small cell lung cancer. He has also been at the forefront of translating the da Vinci Single-Port (SP) system into complex procedures, including major pulmonary resections and minimally invasive esophagectomy. His most cited work, a 2020 study on subxiphoid robotic single-site thymectomy (29 citations), established a less invasive alternative to traditional transthoracic routes. Cumulatively, his papers have garnered over 80 citations, reflecting the growing clinical interest in his techniques. By systematically reducing port numbers and exploring new anatomical corridors, Hong is helping to set a new standard for patient recovery in thoracic oncology.
