About

Dr. Min Jung Yu is a pioneering surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive thyroid surgery, with a particular focus on robotic and scarless techniques. Her major contribution lies in the development and clinical validation of the single-port robotic areolar approach thyroidectomy, a novel procedure that leverages the da Vinci SP system to perform thyroidectomy through a single, hidden incision in the areolar region. This approach offers patients superior cosmetic outcomes and reduced surgical trauma compared to traditional methods. Her landmark study, "First Experience of Single-Port Robotic Areolar Approach Thyroidectomy" (2023), has garnered 14 citations, establishing a foundational reference for this emerging technique. Dr. Yu's work is notable for its direct impact on surgical practice, providing a viable alternative for patients seeking both oncologic safety and aesthetic preservation. Her preliminary clinical outcomes demonstrate the feasibility and safety of this approach, positioning her as a key innovator in the field of robotic endocrine surgery.
