About
Dr. Sang Gab Yoon is a pioneering endocrine surgeon whose research has fundamentally advanced the field of minimally invasive thyroid surgery. His primary focus lies in refining and comparing robotic and endoscopic thyroidectomy techniques, particularly the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA). In his landmark 2020 study, "Comparative study of bilateral axillo-breast approach endoscopic and robotic thyroidectomy," Yoon analyzed a massive multi-institutional dataset of over 1,000 patients spanning from 2004 to 2015. This work, which has garnered 24 citations, provides critical evidence on the merits of robotic versus endoscopic approaches through rigorous propensity score matching. By systematically evaluating surgical outcomes across large populations, Yoon has helped establish evidence-based guidelines for choosing between these advanced techniques, directly impacting clinical decision-making for thyroid cancer patients. His contributions are particularly valuable for surgeons seeking to optimize patient outcomes while minimizing scarring and recovery time. Through this comprehensive comparative analysis, Yoon has positioned himself as a key voice in the ongoing evolution of thyroid surgery, bridging the gap between technological innovation and practical clinical application.
