About

Seong Ho Park is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing robot-assisted sphincter-saving operations for lower rectal cancer, with a particular emphasis on improving oncological and functional outcomes. His major contributions include establishing interpretative guidelines for indocyanine green fluorescence imaging in robot-assisted surgery, a technique that enhances intraoperative visualization and decision-making. Park’s work on intersphincteric resection (ISR) has been pivotal, demonstrating that complete excision of the intersphincteric longitudinal muscle may be key to reducing local recurrence, while also validating the technical, functional, and oncological validity of robot-assisted total-ISR. Additionally, his research on neoadjuvant treatment-induced tissue changes has provided novel suggestions for determining total mesorectal excision quality. With his most-cited paper garnering 73 citations and several others accumulating dozens more, Park’s impact is evident in the growing adoption of robotic techniques for sphincter preservation. His findings have directly influenced surgical protocols, offering patients better chances of maintaining anorectal function without compromising cancer control. For students and researchers, Park’s work exemplifies how meticulous surgical innovation can bridge the gap between radical oncologic resection and quality of life.
