About
Hongho Kim is a leading researcher in the field of surgical robotics, with a primary focus on developing and validating robotic systems for minimally invasive interventions. His work spans critical areas including CT-guided abdominal procedures, trans-oral surgery, and spine surgery. Kim’s major contributions include the validation of a CT-guided intervention robot for biopsy and radiofrequency ablation, demonstrating its accuracy on an abdominal phantom—a foundational study with 42 citations. He also pioneered the Robotic Endo-Laryngeal Flexible (Robo-ELF) scope for trans-oral surgery, advancing robotic assistance in delicate laryngeal procedures. More recently, Kim has made significant strides in spine surgery, developing a novel C-arm-based planning robot that achieved high pedicle screw accuracy in both porcine and cadaver models, with studies accumulating 10 and 5 citations respectively. His work is notable for introducing quantitative accuracy assessment methodologies, setting new standards for preclinical validation. With a cumulative impact of over 70 citations across his key papers, Kim’s research continues to shape the future of robotic-assisted surgery, offering safer, more precise alternatives to traditional techniques.
