About

Ji‐Shiang Hung is a leading colorectal surgeon whose work bridges meticulous surgical anatomy with advanced minimally invasive techniques. His primary research focuses on the embryological planes of the abdomen, specifically the Toldt fascia, and the oncologic optimization of lymphadenectomy for colorectal cancer. Hung’s landmark paper, "The Toldt fascia: A historic review and surgical implications in complete mesocolic excision for colon cancer" (2018, 41 citations), redefined this anatomical concept by integrating historical literature with video analysis from 250 laparoscopic and robotic surgeries, providing a critical roadmap for achieving complete mesocolic excision. More recently, his 2024 prospective study on robotic D3-D4 lymphadenectomy for upper rectal and sigmoid colon cancer (5 citations) standardizes a complex surgical technique and clarifies its oncologic significance for patients with clinically advanced nodal disease. By systematically dissecting the boundaries and benefits of extended lymph node removal, Hung has directly impacted surgical precision and patient outcomes. His work is essential reading for surgeons seeking to master the anatomy and technique behind modern, oncologically sound colorectal resections.
