About

Dr. Jin Yong Jeong is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for lung cancer treatment, particularly through robotic-assisted approaches. His major contributions center on demonstrating the feasibility and efficacy of robotic lobectomy, sleeve lobectomy, and pulmonary segmentectomy for managing non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Notably, his 2019 study on robotic lobectomy for lung cancer, with 22 citations, provided critical initial evidence from a single institution in Korea, highlighting the advantages of magnified three-dimensional vision and instrument angulation over traditional methods. Dr. Jeong also innovated a combined robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery with simple laparoscopy for diaphragm eventration, cited 12 times, showcasing his versatility in addressing complex thoracic conditions. His case report on robotic sleeve lobectomy with four arms for centrally located lung cancer, with 8 citations, further underscores his role in preserving healthy lung parenchyma while overcoming visualization limitations of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Through these works, Dr. Jeong has significantly impacted the adoption of robotic surgery in thoracic oncology, offering patients reduced perioperative risks and improved outcomes. His research continues to shape the evolution of minimally invasive thoracic surgery, making him a key figure in the field.
