About

Hee Jun Choi is a pioneering breast surgeon whose research is transforming the surgical management of breast and thyroid cancers through minimally invasive techniques. His primary contributions lie in advancing robot-assisted and endoscopic approaches, particularly for nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) and transoral thyroidectomy. Choi’s landmark 2020 study on robot-assisted NSM with immediate breast reconstruction (68 citations) demonstrated improved cosmetic outcomes and established a new standard for patient-centered care. His 2024 comparative analysis of minimal access versus conventional NSM (32 citations) further validated the safety and benefits of these approaches, accelerating their clinical adoption. In thyroid surgery, his 2023 comparison of robotic versus endoscopic transoral thyroidectomy (17 citations) provided crucial data on surgical outcomes for papillary thyroid cancer. As a key member of the KoREa-BSG group, Choi has led multicenter studies on robot-assisted breast-conserving surgery and single-port mastectomy techniques, with his most recent 2025 papers already garnering attention. With over 130 total citations, his work is shaping the future of scarless, oncologically sound breast and thyroid surgery, offering patients better aesthetic results without compromising safety.
