About
So Hyun Shim is a leading researcher in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, with a primary focus on robotic and laparoscopic myomectomy and ovarian cystectomy. Her work has significantly advanced surgical techniques for uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts, particularly by comparing novel robotic single-site approaches with conventional multi-port and laparoscopic methods. In her most-cited study (9 citations), she introduced and validated robotic single-site plus two-port myomectomy, demonstrating its efficacy in reducing incision sites while preserving surgical outcomes. Another influential paper (7 citations) compared cesarean delivery outcomes after robotic versus laparoscopic myomectomy, providing critical data for surgical decision-making in women of reproductive age. She has also investigated the effects of barbed suture on adhesion formation and pregnancy outcomes (5 citations), addressing key concerns in myomectomy. Her recent prospective study on ovarian reserve after robotic versus laparoscopic single-site cystectomy (2025) further underscores her commitment to optimizing fertility-preserving surgery. With a cumulative impact of over 25 citations, Shim’s research directly informs clinical practice, offering evidence that helps surgeons choose the safest, most effective minimally invasive techniques for their patients.
