About
So Won Oh is a pioneering thyroid surgeon whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques, particularly the transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA). Her major contributions center on identifying and documenting rare complications in novel surgical methods, most notably through her landmark 2024 case report describing the first documented instance of seeding recurrence of follicular thyroid carcinoma following TOETVA. This critical finding, which has already garnered 5 citations, has significant implications for patient selection and surgical planning in endoscopic thyroid surgery. By highlighting a previously unreported risk, Oh's work directly informs clinical practice and patient counseling, demonstrating her commitment to improving surgical safety and outcomes. Her research bridges the gap between innovative surgical approaches and long-term oncologic vigilance, making her a key voice in the evolution of thyroid cancer management. For students and researchers, Oh's work exemplifies how careful observation and reporting of rare events can shape the future of surgical oncology.
