About
Jong-Kwan Park is a pioneering surgeon whose work has centered on advancing minimally invasive techniques in thyroid surgery, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted approaches. His major contributions lie in establishing the safety and efficacy of the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) for robotic total thyroidectomy, a technique that eliminates visible neck scars while maintaining oncological rigor. In his landmark 2016 study, cited 12 times, Park demonstrated that BABA robotic total thyroidectomy is technically feasible, oncologically safe, and functionally protective of the recurrent laryngeal nerve and parathyroid glands, based on a series of 118 patients. This work has helped validate robotic thyroidectomy as a viable alternative to conventional open surgery, addressing both cosmetic concerns and surgical outcomes. Park’s research has been instrumental in setting standards for this approach, influencing clinical practice and training in head and neck endocrine surgery. His dedication to refining surgical techniques underscores a commitment to improving patient quality of life without compromising cancer care.
