About
Keun Won Ryu is a leading figure in the surgical treatment of gastric cancer, renowned for pioneering the comparative evaluation of robotic versus laparoscopic gastrectomy. His research centers on minimally invasive surgical techniques, with a specific focus on optimizing outcomes for gastric adenocarcinoma and early gastric cancer. Ryu’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic gastrectomy through landmark multicenter prospective studies, such as his 2015 work comparing robotic and laparoscopic approaches, which has garnered over 316 citations. He has also systematically characterized the learning curve for robotic surgery (131 citations), identifying key complications and benchmarks for proficiency. His work extends to evaluating surgical stress responses, economic implications, and health-related quality of life after robotic procedures, showing that robotic gastrectomy can be comparable to laparoscopy, particularly in suprapancreatic nodal dissection and for viscerally obese patients. With several papers exceeding 100 citations, Ryu’s research has been instrumental in guiding the adoption of robotic surgery in gastric cancer treatment, providing critical evidence on who benefits most from this technology. His comprehensive analyses continue to shape surgical practice and training.
