About
Hye-Rim Shin is a leading figure in the advancement of robotic thyroid surgery, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive endocrine procedures. Her major contribution lies in the comparative analysis of different generations of the da Vinci robotic platform—specifically the S, Si, X, and Xi models—for performing bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) robotic thyroidectomy. By systematically evaluating perioperative outcomes across these platforms, Shin has provided crucial evidence that guides surgeons in selecting the optimal technology to enhance patient safety and surgical precision. Her 2021 study, which has garnered 14 citations, is a foundational reference for clinicians adopting or upgrading robotic systems for thyroid surgery. This work underscores her role in refining the BABA technique, a method pioneered in Korea in 2008 that has since become a global standard. Shin’s research not only demonstrates the evolution of robotic surgical tools but also highlights her commitment to improving recovery times and reducing complications for thyroid patients. Her achievements mark her as a key contributor to the integration of cutting-edge robotics in endocrine surgery.
