About

Jaesung Hong is a leading figure in medical robotics, specializing in image-guided surgical systems and minimally invasive interventions. His pioneering work spans ultrasound-driven needle-insertion robots, wire-driven continuum manipulators, and compact bone surgery systems. Hong’s most influential contribution is the development of a real-time ultrasound-guided needle-insertion robot for percutaneous cholecystostomy (179 citations), which advanced the precision of image-guided interventions by addressing organ displacement during procedures. He further refined needle insertion safety through force measurement studies for central venous catheterization (42 citations), clarifying optimal insertion conditions to reduce risks like bleeding and pneumothorax. Hong has also made significant strides in single-port laparoscopic surgery, designing a robot with high force transmission and a large workspace (35 citations), and in bone surgery, creating a high-resolution, high-rigidity remote center of motion mechanism for drilling (23 citations). His work on twist deformation in wire-driven continuum robots (24 citations) and constrained spherical joints for flexible manipulators (23 citations) has advanced dexterous surgical tools. With over 400 cumulative citations, Hong’s research continues to enhance surgical accuracy and patient safety, notably through 3D image-guided robotic systems for bone fracture reduction (16 citations).
