About

Shin-Young Park is a pioneering surgeon advancing the frontiers of minimally invasive endocrine surgery, with a specialized focus on robotic and fluorescence-guided techniques for parathyroid and thyroid disorders. Her most-cited work, "Robot-Assisted Parathyroidectomy Using Indocyanine Green (ICG) Fluorescence in Primary Hyperparathyroidism" (2023), represents a significant leap in surgical precision. Park’s key contribution lies in integrating ICG fluorescence imaging with robotic platforms, enabling real-time visualization of parathyroid glands during surgery—a technique that dramatically reduces the risk of accidental removal or damage to healthy tissue. This innovation builds on the evolution from traditional bilateral neck exploration to focused, scarless procedures, offering patients shorter recovery times and fewer complications. While her citation count is still growing (7 citations for her flagship paper), Park’s work is already shaping clinical protocols in high-volume endocrine surgery centers. Her research bridges the gap between advanced robotics and functional imaging, setting a new standard for targeted parathyroidectomy. For students and researchers, Park exemplifies how emerging technologies can transform established surgical paradigms, making her a key figure to watch in the field of robotic endocrine surgery.
