About

Dr. Seog Ki Min is a pioneering hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose work has significantly advanced minimally invasive surgery in Korea. His primary research focuses on laparoscopic major liver and pancreatic resections, with a particular emphasis on oncologic safety and organ preservation. Dr. Min’s landmark contribution is the first large-scale multicenter study on laparoscopic major liver resection in Korea, published in 2012, which analyzed over 1,000 cases across 12 tertiary centers. This influential work, cited 69 times, established the feasibility and safety of the laparoscopic approach for major hepatectomies, setting a national benchmark. Further demonstrating his commitment to refining surgical techniques, Dr. Min has investigated spleen preservation during laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy for rare tumors like solid pseudopapillary neoplasms. His work confirms that minimally invasive, organ-sparing surgery is oncologically safe for these patients, prioritizing quality of life without compromising outcomes. Through these contributions, Dr. Min has shaped modern surgical practice, offering patients less invasive options with robust oncologic results.
