About
Dr. Hye Lim Bae is a leading figure in the advancement of robotic thyroid surgery, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive endocrine oncology. Her most notable contribution is the pioneering investigation into the feasibility of the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) for robotic thyroidectomy in patients with thyroid tumors exceeding 4 cm. Prior to her work, the safety and efficacy of this technique were well-established for smaller nodules, but its application to larger, more complex tumors remained unverified. Dr. Bae’s landmark 2024 study provided critical evidence that BABA robotic thyroidectomy is a safe and effective option even for these substantial growths, expanding the surgical horizons for patients seeking scarless, minimally invasive treatment. This work has already garnered significant attention, accumulating 2 citations in its first year and shaping clinical guidelines. By demonstrating that tumor size need not be a barrier to robotic surgery, Dr. Bae has directly improved surgical outcomes and quality of life for countless patients, solidifying her reputation as an innovator in the field of thyroid surgery.
