About

Jin-Min Jung is a colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for colorectal cancer, with a particular emphasis on robotic surgery and the reduction of postoperative complications. His most impactful work, a 2023 multicenter study comparing the da Vinci SP (single-port) and Xi systems for colon cancer surgery, has garnered 18 citations and provides crucial short-term outcome data that helps surgeons select the optimal robotic platform. This propensity-score matched analysis is a key contribution to the growing evidence base for single-port robotic colectomy. Dr. Jung also addresses the persistent challenge of anastomotic leakage (AL) in rectal cancer surgery. His 2025 study investigates whether robotic circumferential oversewing can reduce AL rates in stapled anastomoses, even in patients deemed low-risk who undergo low anterior resection without a protective stoma. By targeting this specific, high-stakes complication, his work aims to refine surgical technique and improve patient safety. Through these focused investigations, Dr. Jung is helping to define best practices in robotic colorectal surgery, balancing the benefits of minimally invasive approaches with the imperative to minimize life-threatening complications.
