About
Dr. Ji-Yeon Shin is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive surgery for low rectal cancer. Her primary focus lies in evaluating and refining robotic surgical techniques, particularly for complex procedures like intersphincteric resection (ISR), which aims to preserve anal function while achieving oncological clearance. In her landmark multicentre study, cited over 70 times, Dr. Shin provided critical evidence on the long-term feasibility and oncological safety of robotic ISR compared to the laparoscopic approach, addressing a key gap in surgical knowledge. This work has helped establish robotic surgery as a viable and potentially superior option for patients with ultra-low rectal tumors. Beyond this, her broader research portfolio continues to shape best practices in colorectal oncology, demonstrating a consistent commitment to improving patient outcomes through rigorous comparative effectiveness studies. Her contributions are essential reading for any surgeon or researcher exploring the frontiers of robotic colorectal surgery.
