About
Dr. Jung Wook Huh is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for rectal and colon cancer, with a particular emphasis on robotic and transanal approaches. His major contributions include pioneering comparative studies of transanal endoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME) versus robotic TME for mid-to-low rectal cancer, demonstrating equivalent short-term oncologic outcomes while refining surgical precision. Dr. Huh has been instrumental in characterizing the learning curve for single-port robot-assisted rectal cancer surgery, a critical step for safe adoption of this emerging technology. His work comparing single-port robotic versus single-port laparoscopic right hemicolectomy has shown the feasibility and safety of the novel robotic platform. With over 96 total citations across his most-cited papers, his research has directly influenced surgical decision-making for patients with unfavorable tumor characteristics after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Notably, his 2018 case-matched analysis comparing transanal and robotic TME remains a foundational reference in the field, while his recent multicenter analysis of the ArtiSential laparoscopic system demonstrates his ongoing commitment to evaluating next-generation surgical tools. Dr. Huh’s work consistently bridges the gap between technological innovation and clinical outcomes, making him a key voice in the evolution of colorectal cancer surgery.
