About

Dr. Jae‐Won Shin is a pioneering surgeon whose research has advanced the frontiers of robotic and minimally invasive surgery, particularly in colorectal oncology. His work focuses on evaluating the feasibility, safety, and economic impact of robotic-assisted techniques for treating rectal cancer. Dr. Shin’s most influential study, a cost analysis comparing robotic to conventional laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer (169 citations), provided critical insights into the economic viability of robotic approaches, helping shape clinical decision-making. He further demonstrated the value of simulation-based training, showing in a prospective trial (53 citations) that virtual reality training significantly improves da Vinci surgical performance. Dr. Shin also reported the first robotic pelvic exenteration for locally advanced rectal cancer (47 citations), a landmark achievement that expanded the scope of robotic surgery for complex oncologic cases. His investigations into the oncologic safety of robotic-assisted rectal cancer resection (40 citations) and the impact of laparoscopic experience on robotic dexterity (14 citations) have informed training protocols and surgical standards. More recently, Dr. Shin has contributed to the management of lumbar spinal stenosis (8 citations), broadening his impact across surgical disciplines. His work has been instrumental in establishing robotic surgery as a safe, effective, and economically viable option for patients.
