About
Dr. Jeong-Yeon Ji is a pioneering surgeon advancing the field of minimally invasive thyroid surgery, with a particular focus on robotic and remote-access techniques. Her research centers on optimizing surgical outcomes and reducing visible scarring, most notably through the retroauricular approach. In her landmark 2022 study, "Cumulative sum analysis of the learning curve for robotic retroauricular thyroidectomy," Dr. Ji provided the first systematic evaluation of the proficiency required to master this complex procedure, demonstrating that surgeons can achieve competency after approximately 30 cases. This work, cited 11 times, offers critical guidance for surgical training and patient safety. By quantifying the learning curve, Dr. Ji has helped establish benchmarks that enable broader adoption of scarless neck surgery, directly improving patient quality of life. Her contributions are instrumental in shaping modern thyroid surgery, bridging the gap between technological innovation and practical clinical application.
