About
Dr. Hae Jin Park is a pioneering surgeon whose work has reshaped the landscape of minimally invasive head and neck oncology. Her research centers on the application of robotic surgery to improve both oncologic outcomes and patient quality of life, with a particular focus on thyroid cancer, head and neck malignancies, and complex skull base tumors. Dr. Park’s major contributions include demonstrating the superior cosmetic and functional results of transoral robotic thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid carcinoma, as well as establishing the viability of robot-assisted neck dissection via a postauricular facelift approach—techniques that spare patients from visible neck scars. Her work on voice preservation after transoral robotic thyroidectomy has been widely cited (30+ citations), providing critical data that helps patients and surgeons choose between robotic and conventional approaches. Beyond head and neck surgery, Dr. Park has contributed to the field of radiation oncology, co-authoring a multicenter study on robotic stereotactic body radiotherapy for prostate cancer (22 citations). Her recent investigations into long-term swallowing and speech outcomes after transoral robotic surgery for oropharyngeal cancer (2024) underscore her commitment to understanding the lasting impact of these procedures. With a growing body of highly cited work, Dr. Park is a leading voice in the movement toward less invasive, more patient-centered cancer care.
