About

So-Jin Shin is a gynecologic surgeon and clinical researcher whose work has centered on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for gynecologic cancers, with a particular focus on robotic surgery. Operating at the forefront of surgical innovation, Shin has made significant contributions to the development and evaluation of robotic single-site (RSS) surgery — a technically demanding approach that minimizes incisions while maintaining surgical precision. Her landmark 2019 study introducing robotic single-site staging for early-stage endometrial cancer established practical surgical guidelines and demonstrated the procedure's feasibility, accumulating 21 citations and helping to define a new standard of practice. Shin has also contributed to the broader understanding of robotic surgery's adoption in Korean gynecology, documenting national trends across 14 major institutions. Her comparative analyses of single-site versus multiport approaches for both endometrial and cervical cancers — including a 421-patient retrospective study — have provided clinicians with critical evidence on surgical outcomes, cost-effectiveness, and long-term survival. Her technical innovations, such as a novel vaginal cuff closure suturing technique, further reflect her commitment to refining procedural safety. Collectively, her work has meaningfully shaped minimally invasive gynecologic oncology in Korea and beyond.
