About
Eui Suk Sung is a pioneering surgeon whose research focuses on advancing robotic and endoscopic techniques in head and neck surgery, particularly for thyroid cancer and salivary gland disorders. His major contributions center on developing and validating minimally invasive, scarless approaches—such as the postauricular facelift and gasless unilateral axillary methods—that improve cosmetic outcomes without compromising oncologic safety. In his landmark 2016 study on robotic thyroidectomy (70 citations), he demonstrated the efficacy of remote access approaches in avoiding neck scars. His 5-year propensity score-matched analysis (53 citations) provided robust evidence for the oncologic outcomes of robotic thyroidectomy, while his comparison of robotic versus conventional selective neck dissection (39 citations) showed comparable surgical results with superior aesthetics. Sung also advanced the field of intraoperative neural monitoring, developing novel techniques to protect the recurrent laryngeal nerve during remote access procedures (31 citations). His work on long-term voice outcomes after robotic thyroidectomy (38 citations) and robot-assisted submandibular gland excision (20 citations) further underscores his commitment to functional preservation. With over 260 cumulative citations, Sung has established himself as a leader in the evolution of minimally invasive, cosmetically superior thyroid and neck surgery.
