About
Joonseon Park is a pioneering surgeon advancing the frontier of minimally invasive endocrine surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic thyroidectomy. Dr. Park’s primary research centers on refining single-port trans-axillary robotic thyroidectomy (SP-TART), a technique that eliminates visible neck scars while maintaining oncologic safety. Through a landmark series of 300 consecutive patients, Park demonstrated that SP-TART is not only safe but also reproducible, with complication rates comparable to conventional open surgery. A critical contribution is the detailed characterization of the learning curve for this complex procedure, showing that proficiency is achieved after approximately 50 lobectomies—a finding that guides training programs worldwide. Park’s work has also addressed postoperative pain management, pioneering the use of pectoralis nerve blocks to improve patient recovery. With over 57 cumulative citations across key papers published between 2022 and 2024, Park’s research is rapidly shaping clinical practice. Notably, a 2024 review on the future of robotic surgery in thyroid cancer treatment has become a go-to resource for surgeons evaluating emerging technologies. For students and researchers, Joonseon Park represents a model of how rigorous clinical investigation can transform surgical care.
