About
Dr. Sumin Chae is a pioneering endocrine surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic thyroid surgery, with a particular focus on optimizing cosmetic outcomes without compromising oncological safety. Her major contributions center on the comparative analysis of innovative surgical approaches, most notably the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) and the transoral robotic thyroidectomy. Dr. Chae’s landmark 2019 study, which has garnered over 30 citations, systematically evaluated the surgical and oncological safety of these two techniques, providing crucial evidence that guides surgeons in selecting the best approach for individual patients. By demonstrating that both methods offer excellent cosmetic results while maintaining rigorous safety standards, her research has helped expand the adoption of scarless thyroid surgery. Dr. Chae’s work is particularly impactful for patients concerned about visible neck scars, and her comparative studies have become essential references for surgeons transitioning to or refining these advanced robotic techniques. Her dedication to merging technical precision with patient-centered outcomes continues to shape the evolution of minimally invasive endocrine surgery.
