About
Inhye Park is a pioneering surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive thyroid surgery, particularly in the treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma. Her research focuses on refining robotic and endoscopic techniques to improve surgical outcomes and patient recovery. Park is best known for her contributions to the development and comparative analysis of the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) and the bilateral axillary approach (BAA) for thyroidectomy. Her landmark 2016 study, which has garnered 31 citations, employed propensity score matching to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of robotic BABA thyroidectomy, highlighting its advantages in terms of cosmetic results and reduced complications. Additionally, her introduction of the novel BAA robotic technique, cited 13 times, has expanded the surgical toolkit for thyroid procedures. Through these innovations, Park has helped establish robotic thyroid surgery as a viable, less invasive alternative to traditional open surgery, directly impacting clinical practice and patient quality of life. Her work continues to influence the next generation of endocrine surgeons.
