About

Dr. Sanghoon Kwon is a pioneering gynecologic oncologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for the treatment of gynecologic cancers, particularly endometrial cancer. His major contribution lies in developing and validating robotic single-site surgery (RSSS), a novel approach that combines the precision of robotic assistance with the cosmetic and recovery benefits of single-incision access. In his landmark 2019 study, "Robotic single-site staging operation for early-stage endometrial cancer: initial experience at a single institution," Dr. Kwon established the first surgical guidelines for this procedure and demonstrated its feasibility and safety, achieving a median docking time that underscored its efficiency. This work, which has garnered 21 citations, has been instrumental in expanding surgical options for patients, reducing postoperative pain and scarring while maintaining oncologic outcomes. Dr. Kwon’s research has not only shaped clinical practice at his institution but also provided a foundation for broader adoption of single-site robotics in gynecologic oncology, marking him as a leader in the evolution of less invasive cancer surgery.
