About
Eunyoung Kim is a pioneering surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic thyroid surgery, with a particular focus on the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA). Her research centers on refining minimally invasive techniques to improve both surgical outcomes and cosmetic results for patients with thyroid disease. Kim’s major contribution is the validation of BABA robotic thyroidectomy as a safe and effective procedure, even in complex cases. Her landmark study, “Robotic thyroidectomy by bilateral axillo-breast approach: review of 1026 cases and surgical completeness” (128 citations), provides the largest single-institution evidence of the technique’s efficacy, demonstrating high surgical completeness and low complication rates. She further extended this work by investigating its application in patients with Graves’ disease, proving the procedure’s feasibility and safety in this challenging population. Through these studies, Kim has established a new standard for scarless thyroid surgery, directly impacting thousands of patients worldwide. Her work remains essential reading for any surgeon or researcher exploring the intersection of robotics, endocrinology, and patient-centered care.
