About
Mi Ae Jeong is a pioneering figure in robotic endocrine and thoracic surgery, whose work has significantly advanced minimally invasive approaches for complex mediastinal and thyroid pathologies. Her most cited paper, "Robotic thyroidectomy by a gasless unilateral axillo-breast or axillary approach: our early experiences" (2010, 143 citations), established a foundational technique that reduced visible scarring and improved recovery outcomes for thyroid cancer patients, influencing surgical practice worldwide. Jeong’s contributions extend to rare and technically demanding cases, as demonstrated in her report on a double primary tumor—a thymic mass and posterior mediastinal neurogenic tumor—in a patient with acute pancreatitis, managed via single-staged robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. This work highlights her expertise in overcoming the positioning and procedural challenges of robotic surgery for synchronous lesions at opposite mediastinal extremes. With a focus on innovation and patient-centered outcomes, Jeong’s research has shaped the adoption of robotic platforms in endocrine and thoracic oncology, offering safer, less invasive alternatives. Her achievements underscore a career dedicated to pushing the boundaries of surgical robotics, making her a key reference for students and researchers exploring advanced minimally invasive techniques.
