About
Dr. Sang Uk Woo is a pioneering surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques in thyroid and breast cancer surgery. His major contributions center on the development and refinement of robotic and endoscopic approaches that prioritize both oncologic safety and superior cosmetic outcomes. Dr. Woo is best known for his work on the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) for robotic thyroidectomy, demonstrating through comparative studies that this method yields surgical results comparable to open conventional thyroidectomy while offering significant aesthetic benefits. His research has been highly influential, with his seminal 2014 paper on robotic thyroidectomy accumulating 47 citations. Dr. Woo has also made notable strides in breast cancer surgery, authoring a highly-cited 2021 study on single-incision endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy, which has garnered 33 citations for its innovative approach to improving patient satisfaction. Furthermore, his 2015 investigation into predictive factors for difficult robotic thyroidectomy provides crucial preoperative insights, helping surgeons optimize patient selection and procedural planning. Through these impactful studies, Dr. Woo has established himself as a leading figure in the evolution of scarless, patient-centered surgical oncology.
