About
Dr. Se Hyun Paek is a pioneering surgeon whose research has fundamentally reshaped the landscape of robotic endocrine and breast surgery. His primary focus lies in advancing minimally invasive techniques for thyroid cancer and breast cancer, with a particular emphasis on the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA). Dr. Paek’s major contributions include demonstrating the safety, completeness, and reduced surgical stress of robotic thyroidectomy compared to conventional open surgery, as evidenced by his highly cited 2018 study comparing the two methods (20 citations). He achieved a global milestone by reporting the first successful robotic bilateral modified radical neck dissection for papillary thyroid carcinoma with bilateral lateral neck metastasis, a landmark case series that has garnered 20 citations. His work has systematically expanded the indications for robotic thyroidectomy, proving its efficacy even in complex oncologic scenarios. With over 100 total citations across his top papers, Dr. Paek’s influence extends to breast-conserving surgery, where he leads multicenter studies through the KoREa-BSG group, including a 2025 investigation into robot-assisted techniques. His research provides the foundational evidence that robotic surgery can achieve oncologic outcomes equivalent to open procedures while offering superior cosmetic results and faster recovery, making him a key figure in the global adoption of robotic surgical oncology.
