About
Dr. Jang‐Whan Bae is a pioneering surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of robotic thyroid surgery, particularly through the development and refinement of the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA). His key research areas include minimally invasive endocrine surgery, robotic surgical techniques, and scarless thyroid procedures. Dr. Bae’s major contribution lies in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of the BABA method using the da Vinci surgical system, which allows for precise, tremor-free dissection while avoiding visible neck scars. His seminal paper, "Robotic thyroid surgery using bilateral axillo-breast approach: personal initial experience over two years" (2012), with 15 citations, provided crucial early evidence for the technique’s efficacy, detailing his personal experience and outcomes. This work has helped establish robotic thyroidectomy as a viable alternative to conventional open surgery, improving patient satisfaction and recovery. Dr. Bae’s innovative approach has been instrumental in expanding the applications of robotic surgery in endocrine procedures, influencing subsequent studies and clinical practices worldwide. His contributions continue to inspire surgeons seeking to reduce surgical invasiveness while maintaining oncologic safety.
