About
Dr. Seong Hyeon Yun is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for rectal and colon cancer surgery, particularly through robotic and transanal approaches. His major contributions center on comparing the safety, oncologic outcomes, and learning curves of novel surgical platforms. Notably, his 2018 case-matched analysis (25 citations) demonstrated that transanal endoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME) yields comparable short-term outcomes to transabdominal robotic TME for mid-to-low rectal cancer. Dr. Yun has been at the forefront of single-port robotic (SPR) surgery, publishing seminal learning curve analyses for both rectal cancer (20 citations) and colectomy (12 citations), establishing benchmarks for adoption. His 2023 study comparing single-port laparoscopic versus single-port robotic right hemicolectomy (12 citations) confirmed the feasibility and safety of the SPR system. He has also explored robotic surgery’s benefits for rectal cancer patients with unfavorable characteristics after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (9 citations). Through these works, Dr. Yun has helped define best practices and training requirements for next-generation robotic colorectal surgery, shaping how surgeons worldwide adopt these technologies.
