About
Dr. Yundo Jung is a pioneering surgeon whose research bridges the critical gap between minimally invasive thyroid surgery and patient safety. His primary focus lies in the perioperative management of transoral robotic thyroidectomy, a novel approach that eliminates visible neck scars. Dr. Jung’s most significant contribution is his landmark 2022 study, “Detection of increased intracranial pressure in trans‐oral robotic thyroidectomy using optic nerve sheath diameter measurement,” which has garnered 5 citations. In this work, he identified a previously unrecognized risk: CO₂ insufflation in the narrow submental space can dangerously elevate intracranial pressure. By employing ultrasound to measure optic nerve sheath diameter, Dr. Jung introduced a non-invasive, real-time monitoring technique that enhances surgical safety. His research is notable for its translational impact, directly informing clinical protocols to prevent neurological complications. This achievement underscores his role as a leader in advancing robotic endocrine surgery, ensuring that cosmetic benefits do not compromise patient well-being. Dr. Jung’s work continues to shape safer practices in head and neck surgery.
