Jiheum Paek

About

Jiheum Paek is a prominent gynecologic surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, with a particular focus on robotic and laparoscopic surgical techniques. His research spans cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, uterine fibroids, pelvic organ prolapse, and adnexal tumors, consistently evaluating the safety, feasibility, and long-term outcomes of innovative surgical approaches compared to conventional methods. Among his most influential contributions is his 2015 investigation into recurrence patterns following laparoscopic and robotic radical hysterectomy in early cervical cancer patients, which has garnered 167 citations and remains a cornerstone reference in the field. Paek has been a pioneer in comparing robotic single-site platforms against established laparoendoscopic techniques, demonstrating their clinical viability across multiple gynecologic conditions. His longitudinal studies on robot-assisted surgery for endometrial cancer provide valuable multi-institutional, long-term survival data that inform clinical practice. Additionally, his documentation of robotic surgery trends across Korean gynecology highlights his broader role in shaping regional surgical practice. With over 300 cumulative citations, Paek's body of work offers indispensable guidance for surgeons and researchers navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of minimally invasive gynecologic oncology.
