About
Dr. Ja Seong Bae is a pioneering surgeon whose work has fundamentally reshaped the landscape of thyroid cancer surgery, driving the transition from conventional open procedures to advanced, scarless robotic techniques. His primary research focus is the development and validation of minimally invasive thyroidectomy, with a specific emphasis on transaxillary approaches that eliminate visible neck scars. Dr. Bae’s major contributions include landmark systematic reviews and meta-analyses, such as his 2015 study comparing robotic to open thyroidectomy (87 citations), which established the surgical safety and oncologic effectiveness of the robotic approach. He has been instrumental in advancing the field through rigorous comparative studies, including a 2011 analysis of endoscopic versus robotic methods (71 citations) and a 2020 long-term outcome study using propensity score matching (23 citations). More recently, Dr. Bae has led the charge on single-port transaxillary robotic thyroidectomy (SP-TART), publishing seminal works on its learning curve (14 citations) and safety across large patient series (300 patients, 11 citations). His innovative work on postoperative pain management, including the use of pectoralis nerve blocks, further underscores his commitment to improving patient outcomes. With a cumulative impact exceeding 200 citations, Dr. Bae is a leading authority in scarless thyroid surgery.
