Minoa Jung

About

Dr. Minoa Jung is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic and minimally invasive surgery. Her primary research focuses on the application of robotic platforms in bariatric and hepatobiliary surgery, with a particular emphasis on improving clinical outcomes and operational efficiency. Dr. Jung’s landmark 2014 prospective study on laparoscopic versus robotic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (115 citations) provided critical long-term follow-up data, establishing a new standard for comparative effectiveness. She has also been instrumental in developing and validating robotic single-site cholecystectomy, demonstrating its cost-effectiveness and shorter operative times through real-time near-infrared fluorescent cholangiography (58 citations). Her case-matched comparisons of robotic versus open liver resections (54 citations) and her work on augmented reality integration into the Da Vinci console (48 citations) showcase her commitment to merging cutting-edge technology with surgical practice. More recently, Dr. Jung led the effort to define global benchmarks for primary robotic bariatric surgery (2023), setting quality standards for Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy. With over 500 total citations, her research continues to shape the evolution of robotic surgery, making complex procedures safer and more accessible.
