About
Jeong Hun Seol is a leading figure in head and neck surgical oncology, with a particular focus on minimally invasive techniques for treating complex aerodigestive tract cancers. His seminal work on transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, notably a 2012 study with 94 citations, established a paradigm shift in managing this challenging disease. This research provided the first robust 3-year oncologic and functional analysis, demonstrating that TORS could achieve excellent tumor control while preserving swallowing and voice function—outcomes previously unattainable with traditional open surgery. Beyond this landmark paper, Seol has been instrumental in refining robotic surgical protocols, reducing operative morbidity, and expanding indications for TORS in advanced-stage disease. His contributions have been widely adopted, influencing clinical guidelines and training programs globally. With a citation profile reflecting sustained impact, Seol’s work continues to shape the frontier of organ-preserving head and neck cancer surgery, offering patients improved quality of life without compromising survival.
