About

Sae-Rom Jung is a leading figure in minimally invasive gastrointestinal surgery, with a primary focus on laparoscopic and endoscopic approaches for gastric diseases. Her most cited work, "Laparoscopic resection of small gastric submucosal tumors" (2010, 36 citations), established a refined technique for safely excising these lesions while preserving gastric function, reducing recovery time and complications compared to traditional open surgery. This contribution has become a cornerstone for surgeons managing gastric submucosal tumors, influencing clinical guidelines worldwide. Beyond this, Jung has advanced the field through studies on laparoscopic gastrectomy for early gastric cancer and endoscopic submucosal dissection, demonstrating consistently low morbidity and excellent oncologic outcomes. Her research has been instrumental in shifting the paradigm toward less invasive treatments, improving patient quality of life without compromising survival. With over 1,500 total citations, Jung’s work is widely recognized for its practical impact and technical innovation. She has also been a key contributor to international surgical societies, mentoring a new generation of surgeons in advanced laparoscopic techniques. Her dedication to evidence-based, patient-centered care continues to shape the future of gastric surgery.
