About

Dr. Yun Shin Chun is a pioneering hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex liver, biliary tract, and pancreatic cancers. Her major contributions center on defining the oncologic adequacy of robotic and minimally invasive approaches, particularly for biliary tract cancers and hepatic malignancies. Through landmark analyses of the National Cancer Database, Dr. Chun demonstrated critical insights into lymphadenectomy and margin-negative resection outcomes, establishing benchmarks for surgical quality in biliary tract cancer. Her extensive body of work on robotic hepatectomy—including parenchymal transection techniques, inflow control, and fluorescence-guided surgery—has shaped modern surgical practice, with her most cited paper (12 citations) highlighting differential technical performance by surgical approach. Dr. Chun has authored numerous video manuscripts and practical guides that serve as essential resources for surgeons adopting robotic techniques, covering procedures from extended right hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases to completion radical cholecystectomy. Her contributions have been recognized through consistent citations across her publications, reflecting her role as a leading authority in robotic hepatobiliary surgery and surgical oncology.
