About
Dr. Ho Yong Park is a pioneering surgeon whose work has fundamentally reshaped the landscape of minimally invasive and scarless thyroid and breast surgery. His primary research focuses on developing and refining remote-access robotic techniques, most notably the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) for thyroidectomy. Through a landmark study of 300 cases (62 citations), Dr. Park established the safety and feasibility of this technique, and his subsequent work defined the learning curve required for its mastery (44 citations). He has been instrumental in advancing the field further by pioneering the transoral robotic thyroidectomy (TORT) approach, demonstrating its comparative advantages over BABA (43 citations), and developing a real scarless three-port method (14 citations). Beyond technique, Dr. Park’s research rigorously evaluates patient outcomes, showing that robotic thyroidectomy offers superior quality of life compared to open surgery (36 citations). His innovative use of intraoperative fluorescence imaging to protect parathyroid glands (16 citations) showcases his commitment to surgical precision. Extending his expertise to breast reconstruction, Dr. Park has introduced robot-assisted latissimus dorsi flap harvest (21 citations) and aesthetic scar-less mastectomy (18 citations), consistently pushing the boundaries of what is possible to minimize surgical trauma and improve patient recovery.
