About

Minjung Seo is a pioneering surgeon whose work is redefining the landscape of minimally invasive thyroid surgery. Her primary research focuses on advancing robotic thyroidectomy techniques, with a specific emphasis on improving cosmetic outcomes and reducing surgical trauma. Dr. Seo’s most notable contribution is the development and validation of a novel robotic thyroidectomy approach via a hairline incision using the da Vinci Single Port (SP) system. In her landmark 2022 study, which has garnered 10 citations, she demonstrated the feasibility of this technique in 40 consecutive cases, showing that it can significantly minimize the extent of tissue dissection while maintaining surgical safety. This work represents a major step forward in scarless neck surgery, offering patients a virtually invisible incision hidden along the hairline. By pioneering this less invasive method, Dr. Seo is not only enhancing patient recovery and satisfaction but also setting a new standard for aesthetic precision in endocrine surgery. Her ongoing research continues to push the boundaries of what is possible with robotic platforms, making her a leading voice in the future of head and neck surgery.
