About
Dr. Junice Shi-Hui Wong is a pioneering endocrine surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive and robotic-assisted thyroid surgery. Her major contribution lies in expanding the indications for the robotic bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) thyroidectomy, particularly for patients with large thyroid tumors exceeding 4 cm—a population traditionally considered high-risk for such techniques. Her landmark 2024 study, cited 2 times, demonstrated that BABA thyroidectomy is both safe and feasible for these larger tumors, challenging existing surgical boundaries and offering patients reduced scarring and faster recovery without compromising oncologic outcomes. This work builds on prior evidence of BABA’s effectiveness, but Dr. Wong’s research provides critical data that broadens its clinical applicability, potentially reshaping surgical guidelines. Her findings have already garnered attention in the endocrine surgery community, underscoring her role as an innovator in robotic thyroidectomy. By systematically evaluating outcomes for complex cases, Dr. Wong is helping to make minimally invasive options accessible to a wider patient population, advancing the field toward more personalized, less invasive surgical care.
