About
Ji Young You is a pioneering surgical researcher whose work has fundamentally advanced minimally invasive and robotic approaches to thyroid and adrenal surgery. Operating at the intersection of endocrine surgery and emerging robotic technologies, You has been instrumental in developing and validating transoral robotic thyroidectomy (TORT) — a scarless surgical technique that has garnered significant international attention for its cosmetic and clinical advantages. His landmark 2014 cadaver-to-human study on transoral periosteal thyroidectomy (97 citations) laid critical groundwork for the field, while his subsequent comparative analyses of TORT against conventional open thyroidectomy have provided the rigorous outcome data necessary to establish its clinical legitimacy. With over 304 TORT patients studied for obesity-related outcomes and institutional series exceeding 200 papillary thyroid carcinoma cases, You's research demonstrates both breadth and depth in surgical volume and analysis. His comparative work on bilateral axillo-breast approach robotic thyroidectomy and robotic adrenalectomy further reflects his commitment to optimizing patient-centered surgical options. Collectively accumulating over 350 citations, You's contributions have positioned him as a leading voice in the evolution of modern endocrine surgery and scarless operative techniques.
