About
Jeong Hong Kim is a head and neck surgeon whose research focuses on the application of minimally invasive surgical techniques—particularly transoral robotic surgery (TORS)—to treat rare and anatomically challenging malignancies of the aerodigestive tract. His most cited work, a 2015 case report on a polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma of the tongue base, demonstrates his pioneering approach to managing uncommon salivary gland tumors through robotic-assisted resection. By detailing the successful treatment of a 54-year-old male with this rare hard-palate-derived malignancy, Kim provided early evidence that TORS can achieve wide surgical margins in anatomically constrained regions while preserving function. Although his citation count (5) reflects the niche nature of his topic, the paper’s value lies in its practical guidance for surgeons encountering such rare tumors. Kim’s broader contributions include advancing the evidence base for robotic surgery in head and neck oncology, particularly for sites where conventional open approaches carry significant morbidity. His work underscores the importance of tailored surgical innovation for rare diseases, offering a template for future studies on TORS in minor salivary gland malignancies.
