About the Lab
Professor Guneun Yang's research lab specializes in surgical innovation and clinical outcomes in hepatobiliary and vascular surgery, with a strong focus on minimally invasive techniques in living donor liver transplantation and endovenous interventions. The lab investigates the safety, feasibility, and long-term outcomes of novel surgical approaches, such as mini-incision hepatectomy and radiofrequency ablation, while also addressing complications like anastomotic leakage and heat-induced thrombosis. Research extends to optimizing surgical planning through advanced imaging and predictive modeling, including liver volume estimation and tumor characterization in rare liver lesions. The lab emphasizes evidence-based antibiotic use and surgical safety in complex abdominal procedures.

15BACKGROUND: The application of a minimally invasive technique to graft procurement in living donor liver transplantation has minimized skin incisions and led to early recovery in donor hepatectomy while ensuring donor safety. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of mini-incision living donor right hepatectomy compared with conventional open surgery. METHODS: The study population consisted of 448 consecutive living donors who underwent living donor right hepatectomy performed b
The results of this study suggest that SLV calculation with L3SMI-based formula does not appear to be superior to the currently available BSA-based formulae.
Purpose: Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a type of intra-abdominal infection (IAI) which requires appropriate antibiotics with proper intervention. This study aimed to improve the appropriateness of antibiotic treatment by assessing the patterns of antibiotic treatment and resistance of pathogen profiles in patients who had AL after colorectal cancer surgery. Methods: From June 2006 through December 2017, the medical records of the patients who had AL after elective abdominal surgery for colorectal

HAML is a rare form of primary liver tumor and is often misdiagnosed as HCC or other hypervascular tumors. Although HAML is benign in nature, it has malignant potential, thus resection is indicated if the tumor grows or malignancy cannot be excluded.
Purpose: Endovenous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a safe, effective treatment for varicose veins caused by saphenous reflux. Endovenous heat-induced thrombosis (EHIT) is a unique complication for this procedure. This study evaluated the incidence, risk factors, and clinical consequences of EHIT. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data of patients with varicose veins who underwent radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Duplex ultrasonography (DUS) was performed within 1 week and then 6 months af
Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a common complication of liver transplantation. This study aimed to clarify the efficacy and safety of the application of an adhesion barrier for preventing DGE in living-donor liver transplantation. This retrospective study included 453 patients who underwent living-donor liver transplantation using a right lobe graft between January 2018 and August 2019, and the incidence of postoperative DGE and complications was compared between patients in whom adhesion bar
LDLT is feasible for acute liver failure when organs from deceased donors are not available.
