About
Dr. Sang‐Ah Han is a leading figure in thyroid surgery, renowned for pioneering advances in minimally invasive techniques for papillary thyroid carcinoma. Her research centers on comparing robotic thyroidectomy using the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) with conventional open thyroidectomy, aiming to improve surgical outcomes and patient recovery. Her most-cited work, a landmark 2016 study analyzing 815 patients, demonstrated that robotic thyroidectomy achieves comparable oncologic safety to open surgery while offering superior cosmetic results and reduced morbidity. This study, with 55 citations, has significantly influenced clinical practice, establishing BABA robotic thyroidectomy as a viable alternative for select patients. Dr. Han’s contributions have been instrumental in shaping modern thyroid cancer management, bridging the gap between surgical efficacy and quality of life. Her work continues to inspire further research into robotic applications in endocrine surgery, solidifying her reputation as a key innovator in the field.
