About
Yeonjin Choi is a pioneering surgeon-researcher at the forefront of augmented reality (AR) in hepatobiliary surgery. Her work centers on developing and validating AR-based navigation systems that overlay patient-specific 3D anatomical models onto real-time laparoscopic and robotic surgical views, addressing the critical challenge of intraoperative visualization in complex liver procedures. In her landmark prospective case series (2025, 6 citations), Choi demonstrated the clinical feasibility of dynamic AR guidance, showing that real-time 3D model overlay significantly improves anatomical orientation and precision during minimally invasive liver surgery. This contribution represents a major step toward making complex hepatobiliary procedures safer and more accessible by reducing reliance on mental spatial reconstruction. Her research bridges computer vision, surgical simulation, and clinical practice, positioning her as a leader in the emerging field of computer-assisted surgery. Choi’s work has immediate implications for surgical training and intraoperative decision-making, and her ongoing efforts promise to expand AR applications to other solid-organ surgeries.
