About
Soon Sup Chung is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose research has fundamentally advanced the field of minimally invasive robotic surgery, with a particular focus on single-incision techniques and oncological outcomes in colorectal cancer. His work centers on harnessing the da Vinci SP Surgical System to overcome longstanding limitations of traditional single-incision laparoscopic surgery, including restricted triangulation and instrument clashing. Chung has been instrumental in establishing the clinical viability of single-incision robotic colorectal surgery, publishing some of the earliest and most substantive case series on the subject. His 2020 paper documenting initial clinical experience with the da Vinci SP platform has garnered 32 citations, while a follow-up study of 50 cases published in 2023 has already accumulated 26 citations — reflecting sustained scholarly interest in his pioneering work. His systematic review comparing robotic and laparoscopic approaches for right colon cancer further demonstrates his commitment to rigorous evidence-based practice, adding important long-term oncological data to the field. Beyond conventional colorectal procedures, Chung has extended single-incision robotic techniques to challenging cases such as retrorectal tumours and extended lymphadenectomy. His cumulative body of work, totaling nearly 100 citations, positions him as a leading innovator shaping the future of scarless, minimally invasive colorectal surgery.
