Hepatobiliary & Liver Transplant Surgeon-Scientist

From operative experience
to verifiable intelligence.

Namkee Oh, MD, PhD, transforms real-world liver surgery into measurable, verifiable knowledge that can improve how surgery is understood, taught, and performed.

실제 수술 경험을 측정하고 구조화하여 검증 가능한 수술 지식으로 전환합니다.

Verifiable Surgery method

  1. 01Experience

    Real operative decisions, anatomical variation, actions, and outcomes.

  2. 02Capture

    Structured scenes, techniques, context, and multimodal clinical data.

  3. 03Verify

    Methods, comparison, reproducibility, safety, and clinical relevance.

  4. 04Learn

    Evidence that returns to training, decisions, and accountable care.

Clinical foundation

Clinical practice is where the research begins.

The research program begins in complex liver surgery—where anatomy, judgment, technology, and outcomes must be understood together.

Verifiable Surgery

Before surgery can become autonomous,
it must first become verifiable.

Verifiable Surgery is a research framework for making operative processes measurable, structured, linked to outcomes, and testable. The goal is accountable surgical intelligence at scale—not automation for its own sake.
