About
Dr. Kiyoon Kim is a pioneering surgical oncologist whose work centers on the application of advanced imaging and virtual reality technologies to improve the precision and safety of gastric cancer surgery. Her most significant contribution lies in the development and clinical validation of patient-specific, three-dimensional virtual surgical navigation systems. In her landmark 2023 prospective study, she demonstrated how these personalized 3D models, derived from preoperative CT scans, can be used for both meticulous surgical planning and real-time intraoperative guidance. This work has garnered 19 citations and represents a paradigm shift from reliance on traditional two-dimensional images to immersive, interactive anatomical roadmaps. By enabling surgeons to visualize complex vascular structures and organ relationships before making an incision, Dr. Kim’s innovations directly enhance surgical accuracy, reduce operative time, and minimize complications. Her research bridges the gap between radiology and surgical oncology, establishing a new standard for image-guided intervention in gastric cancer. Dr. Kim’s pioneering efforts are not only advancing the field of minimally invasive oncologic surgery but are also laying the groundwork for broader applications of virtual navigation in complex abdominal procedures.
