About
Dr. Seong Hoon Bae is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose work has advanced minimally invasive approaches to salivary gland surgery. His primary research focuses on the development and validation of robotic-assisted techniques for complex resections, particularly within the submandibular region. Dr. Bae’s major contribution is demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robot-assisted submandibular gland (SMG) resection via a retroauricular approach, a technique that offers superior cosmetic outcomes by hiding the incision behind the ear. His seminal 2012 feasibility study, cited over 40 times, provided the foundational evidence for this approach, showing it to be a viable alternative to traditional transcervical incisions for benign tumors. This work has helped shift the paradigm toward less visible, more patient-friendly surgical options in otolaryngology. By meticulously documenting the surgical technique and initial outcomes in a case series, Dr. Bae has paved the way for broader adoption of robotic surgery in head and neck oncology, directly impacting how surgeons balance radical resection with aesthetic preservation.
