About

Dr. Dae Hyun Ryu is a pioneering breast surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly through the integration of robotic systems. His major contributions lie in refining nipple-sparing mastectomy procedures, notably by developing gasless robotic approaches that eliminate the need for carbon dioxide insufflation, thereby reducing patient complications and improving recovery outcomes. His landmark 2018 case report on gasless robot-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy, cited 36 times, established a foundational protocol that has influenced subsequent surgical innovations. Dr. Ryu’s research demonstrates how robotic surgical systems—with their enhanced degrees of motion and high-definition 3D imaging—can be safely adapted to breast surgery, a field where such technology was historically underutilized. His work has been instrumental in expanding the applications of robotic assistance beyond traditional urologic and gynecologic surgeries, offering breast cancer patients less invasive options with superior cosmetic results. By bridging the gap between cutting-edge robotics and oncologic breast surgery, Dr. Ryu continues to shape the future of patient-centered surgical care.
