About
Dr. Hye Ryeon Choi is a pioneering thyroid surgeon whose work has redefined the landscape of minimally invasive endocrine surgery. Her primary research focuses on advancing robotic thyroidectomy techniques, with a specific emphasis on improving cosmetic outcomes and patient recovery without compromising safety. Dr. Choi’s most significant contribution is the development and clinical validation of the single-port transaxillary robotic thyroidectomy (START), a groundbreaking procedure that eliminates visible neck scars. Her landmark study, detailing the first 200 cases and introducing a novel two-step retraction method, has garnered 36 citations and serves as a foundational reference for surgeons worldwide. This work demonstrated the feasibility and safety of the approach, establishing a new standard in scarless thyroid surgery. Through her innovative techniques, Dr. Choi has directly impacted the field by expanding surgical options for patients with thyroid tumors, reducing postoperative pain, and accelerating return to normal activities. Her dedication to refining robotic platforms continues to inspire a new generation of surgeons to push the boundaries of what is possible in head and neck surgery.
