研究室紹介
Professor Jai Young Cho's research lab specializes in advanced laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgical techniques for liver and biliary tract diseases. The lab focuses on improving outcomes in hepatectomy, particularly in assessing remnant liver perfusion and ischemia, and advancing the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma and early gallbladder cancer. Research also emphasizes preoperative imaging, intraoperative assessment, and standardized guidelines for complex laparoscopic liver surgery.

15Importance: The remnant liver after hepatectomy may have inadequate blood supply, especially following nonanatomical resection or vascular damage. Objective: To evaluate whether remnant liver ischemia (RLI) may have an adverse effect on long-term survival and morbidity after liver resection in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Design, Setting, and Participants: This study was a retrospective analysis at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital. Remnant liver ischemia was graded on postop
Although greater technical refinement is required for a minor resection in the superior part of the right side of the liver, laparoscopic right-sided liver resection is feasible and safe.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the feasibility of the laparoscopic approach for treating suspected early-stage gallbladder carcinoma. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS: Prospective study from a university hospital. From May 10, 2004, to October 9, 2007, the laparoscopic approach was considered for treating 36 patients with suspected gallbladder carcinoma at T2 or less without liver invasion based on the preoperative computed tomographic scan. To further exclude liver invasion, preoperative endoscopic ultra
For the patients with risk factors for AC, early cholecystectomy is recommended before the disease progresses to AC.
Laparoscopic liver resection is rapidly increasing, and certain types of resection are considered standard procedures for liver resection, especially for small malignant tumors located on the liver surface or in the anterolateral segments of the liver. Several specialized centers have performed many types of highly complex hepatectomies, anatomical resections, and laparoscopic donor hepatectomies. Even though several international consensus conferences and expert meetings have been held, until n
This study demonstrates that laparoscopic surgery can be an effective option for managing IHD stones and it also suggests the potential role of laparoscopic surgery for treating IHD stones in the era of laparoscopy.
To overcome the barrier of size match, right lobe graft has been widely used in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). We assessed donor outcome, with a focus on remnant liver volume (RLV) after right hepatectomy based on the experiences of 2 LDLT centers, as a means of guiding the establishment of safe RLV limits for donor right hepatectomy. Between January 2002 and December 2003, a consecutive 146 liver donors who underwent right hepatectomy with at least 12 months of follow-up were enroll
The aim of this study was to assess histologic changes in steatotic grafts, regenerative capacity, and the outcome of steatotic grafts in living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Between September 2002 and February 2004, 55 cases of LDLT with a liver biopsy performed on the 10th postoperative day were enrolled. Patients were grouped according to the intraoperative histologic degree of macrovesicular steatosis (MaS) as follows: Group 1, <5% (n = 24); Group 2, 5 to 15% (n = 24); and Group 3, 15
