About
Dr. Jin Hyeok Jeong is a pioneering surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of robotic surgery, otolaryngology, and head and neck oncology. His primary research focus is the development and validation of minimally invasive, scarless surgical techniques, with a particular emphasis on robotic thyroidectomy and neck dissection. Dr. Jeong has been instrumental in advancing gasless, unilateral axillo-breast and axillary approaches, demonstrating their safety and oncologic efficacy in landmark studies that have collectively garnered over 140 citations. His 2010 paper on early robotic thyroidectomy experiences remains a foundational reference in the field. Beyond thyroid surgery, Dr. Jeong has pushed the boundaries of surgical robotics by designing novel systems for anatomically challenging procedures. Notably, his work on an image-guided dual master–slave robotic system for maxillary sinus surgery and an active bending endoscope robot for sinus navigation addresses critical limitations of conventional endoscopic tools, enabling access to previously unreachable blind regions. His comparative studies, including a 2024 network meta-analysis on transoral robotic versus endoscopic thyroidectomy, continue to shape best practices. With a publication record spanning over a decade and citations exceeding 500, Dr. Jeong is recognized as a leading innovator in robotic head and neck surgery, dedicated to improving both oncologic outcomes and cosmetic results for patients.
