About
Jieun Kim is a leading surgical oncologist whose research focuses on the comparative effectiveness of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for colorectal cancer, with a particular emphasis on the learning curves and perioperative outcomes of laparoscopic versus robotic techniques. Her landmark 2014 study, which has garnered 113 citations, provides critical evidence that simultaneous development of both laparoscopy and robotics yields acceptable outcomes, while demonstrating that robotic surgery offers a faster learning curve and shorter overall operative times for novice MIS surgeons treating rectal cancer. This work has been instrumental in guiding surgical training programs and helping institutions decide how to integrate emerging robotic platforms. Beyond this seminal paper, Kim’s broader contributions have shaped best practices in colorectal oncology, influencing how surgeons adopt new technologies to improve patient recovery and oncologic safety. Her research is widely cited by surgeons and educators seeking evidence-based pathways for skill acquisition in complex pelvic surgery.
