About
Dr. Ji Yoon Rho is a leading figure in the field of minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery, with a focused expertise in comparing the efficacy of robotic and laparoscopic techniques. Her research critically evaluates whether the advanced technology of robotic systems translates into tangible benefits for patients, particularly those with early-stage gastric cancer. In her landmark 2011 study, Dr. Rho demonstrated that robot-assisted total gastrectomy is comparable to the laparoscopic approach in terms of safety and oncologic outcomes, a work that has garnered 125 citations and established a foundational benchmark for the field. Building on this, her 2015 investigation addressed a critical clinical question, revealing that robotic surgery may offer specific advantages for viscerally obese patients—a finding that has significant implications for surgical planning. Through her rigorous comparative analyses, Dr. Rho has not only validated the feasibility of robotic gastrectomy but has also identified patient populations most likely to benefit, thereby shaping modern surgical protocols and advancing personalized care in gastric oncology.
