About
Da Won Park is a leading figure in the advancement of robotic thyroid surgery, specializing in minimally invasive techniques that eliminate visible neck scarring. Her major contributions center on pioneering and refining transoral robotic thyroidectomy (TORT), a groundbreaking approach that accesses the thyroid through the mouth. In a landmark 2020 study, she demonstrated that TORT achieves comparable surgical outcomes to conventional open thyroidectomy, using propensity score matching to validate its safety and efficacy—a work that has garnered over 40 citations. Park further solidified her impact through a comprehensive analysis of 423 consecutive TORT cases, identifying strategies to prevent complications and establishing best practices for this novel procedure. Her comparative research between TORT and the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) has provided crucial insights for surgeons selecting the optimal robotic technique. With her work cited extensively across the surgical literature, Da Won Park is recognized for transforming the landscape of thyroid surgery, offering patients a scarless alternative without compromising oncologic or safety outcomes.
