About
Eun Jeong Jang is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery, particularly through the application of robotic and single-port techniques. Her major contributions lie in demonstrating the feasibility, safety, and comparative advantages of robotic single-site cholecystectomy and robotic hepatectomy, even in challenging contexts such as obesity, limited-resource settings, and complex tumor resections like Klatskin tumors. Jang’s research has been instrumental in showing that robotic systems—including the Da Vinci Xi® and SP—can overcome the ergonomic and technical limitations of conventional laparoscopy, especially for single-incision and donor liver procedures. Her work on early outcomes of robotic right hepatectomy for living donors in a small-volume center has been particularly impactful, offering a path forward for centers with lower caseloads. With over 69 total citations across her top papers, Jang’s studies have informed surgical practice by providing comparative data (e.g., propensity score-matched analyses) and by exploring the learning curve for novice surgeons. Her recent investigations into robotic caudate lobectomy and gallbladder cancer signal a continued push toward expanding the boundaries of what is surgically possible.
