About

Dr. Ji Geun Yoo is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for the treatment of gynecologic cancers and benign diseases. A central theme of Dr. Yoo’s work is the comparative evaluation of robotic and laparoscopic approaches, with a particular emphasis on single-site and single-port access surgery. In a landmark 2017 study (18 citations), Dr. Yoo demonstrated the feasibility and safety of single-site robot-assisted staging for presumed early-stage ovarian cancer, a critical contribution to a field seeking to reduce surgical trauma. More recently, Dr. Yoo’s 2023 investigation into robot-assisted versus conventional laparoscopic radical hysterectomy for stage IB1 cervical cancer provided nuanced insights, notably suggesting a lower recurrence rate with robotic surgery for tumors under 2 cm, while calling for larger randomized trials. Further solidifying this expertise, a 2025 cohort study (5 citations) directly compared single-port laparoscopic and single-site robotic surgery for benign conditions, offering valuable data on surgical outcomes. Through this focused body of work, Dr. Yoo is actively shaping the evidence base for the next generation of gynecologic surgery, balancing innovation with rigorous clinical evaluation.
