About

Soon Bo Choi is a pioneering breast surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of oncologic surgery through the integration of advanced robotic platforms. His primary research focuses on minimally invasive techniques for breast cancer treatment, with a particular emphasis on robot-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy (RNSM) and robotic axillary lymph node dissection. Choi’s major contributions include demonstrating the clinical feasibility and safety of using the da Vinci SP system for RNSM, a procedure that offers superior cosmetic outcomes while maintaining oncologic rigor—a critical advancement as more patients are diagnosed at early stages and demand better aesthetic results. His 2022 study on RNSM, with 25 citations, has become a foundational reference for surgeons adopting this technology. Additionally, his early work on robotic axillary lymph node dissection in node-positive patients, cited 15 times, has helped expand the role of robotics in comprehensive breast cancer management. By systematically validating these techniques, Choi is not only improving surgical precision and patient recovery but also setting new standards for what is possible in breast-conserving and reconstructive surgery. His research continues to inspire a generation of surgeons to embrace innovation in the pursuit of better outcomes.
