About

Yoon Young Choi is a leading surgical oncologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for gastric cancer treatment. Her major contributions center on defining the role of robotic gastrectomy compared to laparoscopic and open approaches, as demonstrated by her highly cited 2013 meta-analysis (111 citations), which systematically evaluated outcomes across these surgical modalities. She has been instrumental in refining robotic surgery, notably through integrated robotic distal gastrectomy combining Single-Site platforms with fluorescence image-guided surgery, achieving superior outcomes over conventional laparoscopy (2020, 35 citations). Her work also extends to managing remnant gastric cancer, where she demonstrated the benefits of minimally invasive approaches (2014, 55 citations). Through international collaborations, including a large-scale retrospective analysis of patients from high-volume hospitals in Korea and China (2016, 25 citations), she has helped establish strategies to improve treatment outcomes across diverse populations. With cumulative citations exceeding 200, Choi’s research has significantly shaped evidence-based surgical practice, offering patients safer, less invasive options while advancing the field of gastric cancer surgery.
