About
Dr. Sang‐Uk Han is a leading figure in the field of minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery, with a research focus centered on the comparative effectiveness of robotic versus laparoscopic gastrectomy. His most impactful work includes a landmark multicenter prospective study (316 citations) that rigorously compared short-term outcomes and costs of these two approaches. Dr. Han has made seminal contributions to understanding the surgical learning curve, notably defining complication-based benchmarks for robotic gastrectomy (131 citations) and demonstrating how long-term experience can optimize outcomes. He has also pioneered technical innovations, such as robot-sewn anastomosis and real-time vessel navigation using indocyanine green fluorescence, enhancing surgical precision. With over 960 total citations, his research provides critical evidence on both the feasibility and long-term survival benefits of robotic surgery, helping to guide clinical decision-making and training standards in gastric cancer treatment.
