About
Min Gee Yoon is a surgeon whose work centers on refining minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in living-donor kidney transplantation. Her research focuses on the learning curves and clinical outcomes of hybrid surgical approaches, most notably video-assisted minilaparotomy surgery (VAMS). In her highly cited 2018 study, Yoon conducted a cumulative sum analysis of the learning curve for VAMS donor nephrectomy in healthy kidney donors, demonstrating that this hybrid technique—combining the benefits of open and laparoscopic surgery—can be safely adopted with a manageable learning curve. This work has garnered 17 citations, underscoring its practical value for transplant centers seeking to expand their minimally invasive options. By systematically evaluating the progression from novice to proficiency, Yoon provides critical guidance for surgical training and quality assurance. Her contributions help bridge the gap between traditional open surgery and pure laparoscopy, offering a balanced alternative that may reduce donor morbidity while maintaining excellent graft outcomes. For students and researchers in transplant surgery, Yoon’s work exemplifies how careful analysis of operative experience can directly improve patient care and surgical education.
