About

Dr. Myunghyun Han is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly through the integration of robotic platforms. His major contributions center on the clinical implementation and evaluation of the da Vinci SP (Single Port) system for colorectal procedures. Dr. Han has been instrumental in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of pure single-incision robotic surgery, as evidenced by his landmark 2020 paper on single-incision robotic colorectal surgery (32 citations) and his 2019 work on single-incision robotic right hemicolectomy. He has also critically examined the learning curve for robotic rectal cancer surgery, showing how prior laparoscopic experience impacts the transition to robotic techniques (28 citations). With a cumulative citation count exceeding 60 for his most influential works, Dr. Han’s research is helping to define best practices for next-generation surgical platforms. His work is particularly notable for addressing the technical challenges of triangulation and retraction in single-incision approaches, ultimately aiming to improve patient outcomes through less invasive procedures.
