About
Dr. Sung Su Yun is a pioneering hepatobiliary surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of minimally invasive liver surgery. His primary research focuses on laparoscopic major liver resections, technical standardization, and multicenter outcomes analysis. Dr. Yun’s landmark contribution is the first large-scale multicenter study of laparoscopic major liver resection in Korea, published in 2012, which analyzed data from over 1,000 procedures across 12 tertiary centers. This work demonstrated the safety, feasibility, and oncologic efficacy of the laparoscopic approach for major hepatectomies, establishing a critical evidence base that helped shift clinical practice from open to minimally invasive techniques. With 69 citations, this seminal paper remains a cornerstone reference for surgeons worldwide. Dr. Yun’s efforts in coordinating national registries and promoting collaborative research have been instrumental in defining best practices and training standards for laparoscopic liver surgery. His work continues to shape the evolution of hepatobiliary surgery, improving patient outcomes through reduced morbidity and faster recovery.
