About
Kyung-Jin Min is a gynecologic surgeon and clinical researcher whose work centers on minimally invasive surgical techniques for gynecologic malignancies, with a particular focus on optimizing outcomes in cervical and endometrial cancers. Min has made significant contributions to understanding the learning curves associated with complex procedures, including minimally invasive radical hysterectomy and sentinel lymph node mapping — critical insights that help surgeons benchmark their proficiency and safeguard patient outcomes. His 2020 study on how learning curves influence oncologic results in minimally invasive radical hysterectomy (40 citations) stands as a pivotal contribution, emerging at a time when the surgical community was rigorously reassessing the safety of laparoscopic approaches to cervical cancer. Complementing this, his research on sentinel lymph node detection during robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (35 citations) has helped standardize adoption of this technique across gynecologic oncology. Min has also advanced the comparative understanding of robotic versus laparoscopic platforms, including single-port systems, providing surgeons with evidence-based guidance on feasibility, efficiency, and technical transition. His body of work collectively shapes how gynecologic surgeons worldwide approach training, technique selection, and quality improvement in minimally invasive cancer surgery.
