About
Jeong Soo Kim is a pioneering surgeon whose work bridges environmental remote sensing and advanced robotic thyroid surgery. His early research in Earth observation led to the development of a combined dust detection algorithm using MODIS infrared channels over East Asia (2013, 57 citations), a foundational contribution to atmospheric monitoring. However, Kim’s most transformative impact lies in minimally invasive endocrine surgery. As a leader in single-port transaxillary robotic thyroidectomy (SP-TART), he has systematically defined the learning curve for this complex procedure through his initial 50 lobectomies (2022, 14 citations) and validated its safety and feasibility across consecutive series of 100 and 300 patients (2022, 9 citations; 2024, 11 citations). His work demonstrates that SP-TART can be performed with excellent surgical outcomes, establishing a new standard for scarless thyroid surgery. Kim has also innovated in perioperative care, showing that pectoralis nerve block II (PECS II) effectively controls flap dissection-related pain after robotic transaxillary thyroidectomy (2022, 8 citations). Through rigorous clinical investigation, Kim has not only advanced surgical technique but also improved patient recovery, making him a leading figure in the evolution of robotic endocrine surgery.
