About
Oh Young Joo is a pioneering breast surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of reconstructive surgery through robotics. Her primary research focuses on minimally invasive techniques for breast reconstruction, specifically leveraging single-port robotic systems to reduce surgical trauma and improve aesthetic outcomes. Dr. Joo’s major contributions include the first clinical report of single-port robot-assisted prosthetic breast reconstruction using the da Vinci SP system, a landmark study that has garnered 13 citations and demonstrated the feasibility of performing nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction through a single, inconspicuous incision. She has also advanced the field by pioneering robotic harvest of the latissimus dorsi flap, achieving a minimally invasive approach that eliminates the long, visible donor scar traditionally associated with this procedure—a work cited 10 times for its clinical significance. By merging cutting-edge robotic technology with patient-centered surgical design, Dr. Joo is setting new standards for scarless reconstruction. Her innovative techniques not only enhance recovery but also address the psychological burden of scarring, marking her as a leader in the next generation of oncoplastic breast surgery.
