Jin‐Young Jang

About

Jin‐Young Jang is a pioneering hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose research has fundamentally shaped the field of minimally invasive pancreatic and liver surgery. His major contributions center on establishing evidence-based guidelines and comparative outcomes for robotic versus laparoscopic approaches in complex procedures. Jang led the development of the Brescia Internationally Validated European Guidelines on Minimally Invasive Pancreatic Surgery (EGUMIPS, 117 citations) and the International Consensus Guidelines on Robotic Pancreatic Surgery (46 citations), providing the first robust frameworks for safe adoption of these techniques. His landmark international multicenter studies, including propensity score-matched analyses comparing robotic and laparoscopic right posterior sectionectomy (74 citations) and distal pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer (41 citations), have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of robotic approaches. Jang also pioneered the PD-ROBOSCORE (34 citations), a difficulty scoring system for robotic pancreatoduodenectomy, and has extensive experience with laparoscopic choledochal cyst excision (57 citations). With over 500 cumulative citations from his top ten papers alone, Jang’s work has directly influenced global surgical practice, helping to standardize training and improve patient outcomes in technically demanding hepatobiliary and pancreatic procedures.
