About
Dr. Saowanee Ngamruengphong is a leading gastroenterologist and advanced endoscopist whose research focuses on therapeutic endoscopy, minimally invasive gastrointestinal surgery, and the application of artificial intelligence in endoscopic procedures. She is best known for her pioneering work comparing peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) to robotic Heller myotomy for achalasia, demonstrating that POEM achieves equivalent clinical outcomes while incurring significantly lower healthcare costs—a finding that has shaped clinical practice and been cited 37 times. Dr. Ngamruengphong has also contributed innovative techniques for managing complex post-surgical complications, such as the combined antegrade-retrograde rendezvous method for recanalizing complete coloanal anastomotic obstructions. More recently, she has advanced the field of AI-assisted colonoscopy by developing real-time automatic polyp size estimation, which promises to improve colorectal cancer screening accuracy. Her work bridges cutting-edge technology and patient-centered outcomes, establishing her as a key figure in the evolution of minimally invasive gastroenterology.
