About

Ji‐Sup Yun is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic thyroid surgery. His primary research focus lies in developing and refining minimally invasive techniques for treating thyroid cancer, with a particular emphasis on robot-assisted endoscopic approaches. Yun’s landmark study, "Robot-assisted endoscopic surgery for thyroid cancer: experience with the first 100 patients," has garnered over 386 citations, establishing it as a foundational reference in the discipline. This work demonstrated the feasibility and safety of robotic systems in achieving superior cosmetic outcomes and reduced recovery times without compromising oncological efficacy. By systematically documenting the learning curve and surgical outcomes for a large patient cohort, Yun provided critical evidence that helped standardize robotic thyroidectomy protocols worldwide. His contributions have not only expanded surgical options for patients but also inspired a generation of surgeons to adopt advanced robotic technologies. Yun’s research continues to shape the evolution of endocrine surgery, bridging the gap between technological innovation and patient-centered care.
