About
Jee Ye Kim is a pioneering surgical oncologist and reconstructive surgeon whose work sits at the forefront of robotic and minimally invasive breast surgery. Her research has fundamentally advanced the fields of robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy and robotic breast reconstruction, generating substantial evidence for the safety, feasibility, and superiority of these techniques over conventional approaches. Kim's most influential contributions include early-experience data on robot-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy (2020, 68 citations), an international multicenter pooled analysis comparing robotic and conventional outcomes (2022, 65 citations), and groundbreaking work on robotic DIEP flap harvest via a totally extraperitoneal approach (2021, 61 citations) — a technically demanding innovation that minimizes donor-site morbidity and accelerates patient recovery. Her comparative and outcomes-focused studies have directly shaped clinical decision-making, with her ten most-cited papers collectively accumulating nearly 380 citations. Beyond technical innovation, Kim has explored nuanced aspects of patient care, including postoperative pain management through intraoperative nerve blocks and the oncologic safety of minimal-access approaches. Her work on robotic axillary lymph node dissection further broadens the scope of robotic breast surgery. For students and clinicians navigating this rapidly evolving field, Kim's body of work represents an essential and authoritative reference.
