About

Dr. Jiyoun Kim is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques and reducing patient morbidity through intraoperative imaging innovations. Her most cited research, "Intraoperative Fluorescent Ureter Visualization in Complex Laparoscopic or Robotic-Assisted Gynecologic Surgery" (2023, 17 citations), demonstrates a groundbreaking approach to preventing one of the most feared complications in gynecologic surgery: ureteral injury. By employing indocyanine green (ICG) and near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging, Dr. Kim established a feasible, real-time method for ureteral navigation during complex laparoscopic and robotic-assisted procedures. This work directly addresses the critical challenge of visualizing the ureter in patients with distorted anatomy from endometriosis, adhesions, or large fibroids. Her contributions have significant implications for patient safety, offering surgeons a reliable tool to avoid accidental damage. Dr. Kim’s research bridges surgical innovation and clinical practicality, making complex surgeries safer and more predictable. Her ongoing work continues to shape the future of gynecologic oncology and minimally invasive surgery, positioning her as a key figure in the evolution of precision-guided operative techniques.
