About
Dr. Hyun Jun Hong is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose work has fundamentally reshaped the surgical management of head and neck cancers, particularly through the development and validation of minimally invasive robotic techniques. His primary research focuses on advancing robotic-assisted neck dissections and submandibular gland resections, with a major contribution being the introduction of novel surgical approaches that reduce morbidity while maintaining oncologic efficacy. Dr. Hong’s landmark 2012 comparative study on robot-assisted supraomohyoid neck dissection via a modified face-lift or retroauricular approach (107 citations) demonstrated superior cosmetic outcomes and comparable oncologic safety to conventional techniques in early-stage oral cavity cancer. He further expanded the field by establishing the feasibility of the transaxillary and retroauricular (“TARA”) approach (85 citations) and the gasless transaxillary method for comprehensive neck dissection. His work on transoral robotic retropharyngeal lymph node dissection addressed a critical surgical challenge, offering a less invasive alternative for accessing difficult-to-reach metastases. With cumulative citations exceeding 350, Dr. Hong’s contributions have not only advanced surgical precision but also improved patient quality of life, establishing him as a leading innovator in robotic head and neck surgery.
