About

Dr. BeomSeok Ko is a pioneering breast surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robot-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy (RANSM) and immediate breast reconstruction. His major contributions lie in demonstrating the feasibility, safety, and superior cosmetic outcomes of robotic endoscopic surgery for breast cancer treatment and risk-reducing mastectomy. Notably, his 2020 study on RANSM, with 68 citations, established early evidence that robotic approaches improve aesthetic results over conventional methods. He leads the Mastectomy with Reconstruction Including Robotic Endoscopic Surgery (MARRES) prospective cohort study, a landmark collaboration under the Korea Robot-Endoscopy Minimal Access Breast Surgery Study Group, which has garnered 24 citations and is shaping best practices. More recently, his 2024 work on tumescent-free robotic NSM, using the da Vinci single-port system, addresses critical concerns about skin flap necrosis, further refining surgical safety. With a growing citation impact and a focus on patient-centered outcomes, Dr. Ko is at the forefront of integrating robotics into breast oncology, offering hope for improved quality of life after mastectomy.
