About
Woon Kyung Jegon is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in robotic and single-port approaches for colorectal cancer. His major contribution lies in the development and clinical validation of single plus one-port robotic surgery (SPORS) using the da Vinci Single-Site Platform, a novel technique designed to overcome the limitations of traditional single-port laparoscopic surgery. In his landmark 2022 study, Jegon systematically compared SPORS with conventional multi-port laparoscopic surgery for left-sided colon cancer, demonstrating comparable safety and oncologic outcomes while offering superior cosmetic results. This work, which has garnered 22 citations, represents a significant step toward reducing surgical trauma and improving patient satisfaction in colorectal oncology. Jegon’s research bridges the gap between robotic precision and minimally invasive principles, positioning him as a key figure in the evolution of colorectal surgery. His findings have important implications for surgical training and patient selection, offering a viable alternative to established multi-port approaches.
