About
Shineui Kim is a surgical outcomes researcher whose work focuses on the adoption, safety, and efficiency of robotic surgery in acute and oncologic settings. Her research critically examines how robotic-assisted techniques are being integrated into emergency general surgery and colorectal cancer care, with a particular emphasis on the role of institutional experience and operative volume in shaping patient outcomes. In her widely cited 2024 study on national trends in robotic emergency general surgery, Kim provided the first large-scale analysis of this rapidly evolving practice, documenting its rising utilization and safety profile across U.S. hospitals. Her subsequent 2025 work on robotic-assisted colectomy for colorectal cancer investigates the relationship between center-level operative volume and acute outcomes, addressing a critical gap in understanding how institutional experience influences both clinical results and cost-effectiveness. By leveraging national databases and rigorous methodological approaches, Kim’s contributions help guide surgical decision-making and health policy, offering evidence that supports the thoughtful expansion of robotic surgery while highlighting the importance of centralized expertise. Her growing citation record reflects the timely relevance of her work to surgeons, hospital administrators, and health services researchers alike.
