About
Dr. Jeoung Won Bae is a pioneering endocrine surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic thyroid and adrenal surgery. Her research centers on developing and refining minimally invasive techniques, particularly the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) for thyroidectomy, which eliminates visible neck scars. Her landmark 2014 study, "Transoral periosteal thyroidectomy: cadaver to human" (97 citations), introduced a groundbreaking scarless approach through the mouth, marking a paradigm shift in head and neck surgery. Dr. Bae’s comparative studies, including a 2014 analysis of robotic versus open thyroidectomy (47 citations), rigorously demonstrated that robotic methods achieve equivalent oncologic outcomes with superior cosmetic results. She also validated the efficacy of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) during robotic procedures (29 citations), enhancing patient safety by preserving vocal cord function. Beyond the thyroid, her 2013 comparison of robotic versus laparoscopic adrenalectomy (48 citations) established robotic surgery as a safe, effective alternative. Through these contributions—totaling hundreds of citations—Dr. Bae has not only expanded the boundaries of what is surgically possible but has also set new standards for patient-centered care, inspiring a generation of surgeons to embrace innovation in minimally invasive endocrine surgery.
