About
Dr. Sang-Yong Son is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive surgery for gastric cancer, with a focused expertise in comparing robotic and laparoscopic gastrectomy outcomes. His major contributions center on demonstrating the long-term efficacy and safety of robotic approaches, particularly through rigorous propensity score-matched studies. His 2020 paper comparing long-term outcomes of robotic and laparoscopic gastrectomy has garnered 64 citations, while his 2021 work on textbook outcomes for total gastrectomy has been cited 53 times. Notably, Dr. Son pioneered the use of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence for real-time vessel navigation during gastrectomy, a technique that has significantly improved surgical precision in pylorus-preserving procedures (52 citations). He also developed the modified overlap method using knotless barbed sutures (MOBS) for intracorporeal esophagojejunostomy, advancing anastomotic techniques. His research consistently addresses critical questions about learning curves and operator experience, as seen in his 2016 study on whether robotic systems surpass laparoscopic ones with long-term practice. Through these contributions, Dr. Son has helped establish evidence-based benchmarks for minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery, influencing both clinical practice and surgical education worldwide.
