About
So Hyang Moon is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive thyroid surgery, with a particular focus on the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA). Her research centers on refining surgical techniques to enhance patient recovery and safety, notably challenging traditional postoperative protocols. In her pivotal 2015 multicenter trial, Moon provided the first systematic evidence that drainless BABA thyroidectomy is not only feasible but safe, significantly reducing patient discomfort and hospital stay without increasing complications. This work has been cited by peers seeking to standardize drain-free protocols in robotic and endoscopic thyroid surgery. Moon’s contributions are foundational for surgeons aiming to minimize invasiveness while maintaining rigorous safety standards, making her a key innovator in the field of endocrine surgery and a respected voice in the ongoing evolution of scarless, patient-centered thyroid care.
