About
Yun-Suhk Suh is a leading figure in gastric cancer surgery, renowned for advancing minimally invasive and robotic techniques. His research focuses on the impact of endoscopic screening on gastric cancer management, demonstrating that early detection through nationwide programs significantly improves treatment outcomes and shifts disease presentation to earlier stages—a finding supported by his 2014 study with 71 citations. Suh has been instrumental in comparing surgical approaches, notably through a 2014 propensity score-matched analysis (65 citations) showing that robot-assisted pylorus-preserving gastrectomy offers outcomes comparable to laparoscopy, while also pioneering reduced-port robotic gastrectomy (REPROG) as evaluated in the KLASS-13 trial. His work extends to surgical innovation, including the development of an assistant surgical robot system to reduce arm collisions and the feasibility study of an articulating bipolar vessel sealer in da Vinci gastrectomy (10 citations). Notably, Suh has explored the link between manual ambidexterity and robotic surgical proficiency (9 citations), contributing to surgeon training. With over 200 cumulative citations, his contributions have shaped Korean and global practices in minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery.
