About
Hyung-Ju Cho is a surgeon-researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotic surgery, upper airway intervention, and the surgical management of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Based at a university-level tertiary care center, Cho has established himself as a leading voice in the application of minimally invasive and robotic technologies to head and neck surgery. His most influential contribution, a 2017 retrospective case-control study comparing transoral robotic surgery (TORS) with coblation-based tongue base resection for OSA, has garnered 30 citations and remains a key reference for surgeons navigating surgical options for sleep-disordered breathing. Complementing this, his cadaveric investigation into robotic nasopharyngectomy via combined endonasal and transantral ports opened new conversations about expanding robotic access to previously difficult anatomical regions. Cho has further refined patient selection by identifying predictors of success when combining tongue base resection with lateral pharyngoplasty, and his 2024 prospective study on single-port robotic tongue base resection marks a forward-looking milestone in the field. His early pilot work on 3D endoscopy in sinonasal surgery also demonstrates a broad commitment to advancing surgical visualization and precision across otolaryngologic subspecialties.
