About

Dr. Ki Eun Seon is a pioneering gynecologic oncologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgery for gynecologic tumors, particularly through single-port robotic platforms. Her major contributions center on the clinical validation and comparative effectiveness of the da Vinci SP (Single Port) surgical system, demonstrating its feasibility and safety in complex oncologic procedures. In her landmark study involving 100 consecutive cases, Dr. Seon established the first large-scale evidence for single-port robotic surgery in gynecologic tumors, achieving 52 citations for this foundational work. She further advanced the field by directly comparing the da Vinci SP against the multi-arm da Vinci Xi system in a propensity score-matched study (23 citations), showing comparable surgical outcomes for endometrial cancer staging. Her research also includes a retrospective comparison with conventional laparotomy (7 citations), highlighting the benefits of robotic approaches. Through these studies, Dr. Seon has provided critical data that supports the adoption of single-port robotics, offering patients reduced scarring and faster recovery while maintaining oncologic safety. Her work positions her as a leading voice in the evolution of robotic gynecologic surgery.
