About

Dr. Joong‐Min Park is a leading figure in minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery, with a career dedicated to advancing surgical techniques and improving patient outcomes. His primary research areas encompass robotic and laparoscopic gastrectomy, with a specific focus on comparing their short-term surgical outcomes, financial costs, and impact on patients' postoperative quality of life. Dr. Park’s most influential work, a multicenter prospective study comparing robotic versus laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma, has garnered over 316 citations, establishing a critical evidence base for the adoption of robotic surgery. This landmark study directly addressed the lack of supporting data for the increasingly popular robotic approach. Further demonstrating his commitment to patient-centered care, Dr. Park led a prospective trial evaluating quality of life following minimally invasive gastrectomy, highlighting the importance of patient satisfaction in surgical decision-making. Through his rigorous comparative research, Dr. Park has provided the surgical community with essential data to guide treatment choices, solidifying his reputation as a key contributor to the evolution of gastric cancer surgery.
