Hyukjai Shin

About

Hyukjai Shin is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive breast surgery, with a primary focus on robotic and endoscopic techniques for breast cancer treatment. As a key member of the Korea Robot-Endoscopy Minimal Access Breast Surgery Study Group (KoREa-BSG) and the Korean Breast Cancer Study Group (KBCSG), Dr. Shin has been instrumental in shaping the field of robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy (RNSM). Their most cited work, the MARRES prospective cohort study (24 citations), provides critical evidence on the feasibility and outcomes of this innovative approach, while their contributions to the 2025 expert consensus statement (13 citations) help establish standardized protocols for patient selection and technical execution. Dr. Shin has also documented current trends in endoscopy-assisted breast surgery (11 citations), demonstrating a sustained commitment to refining less invasive alternatives that improve cosmetic outcomes and patient satisfaction. Through these influential publications, Dr. Shin has not only advanced surgical practice but also addressed ongoing debates about the role of robotics in breast cancer care, making a lasting impact on how surgeons approach mastectomy and reconstruction.
