About
Su Hwan Kang is a pioneering surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive thyroid surgery, particularly through the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA). His major contributions include demonstrating the safety and feasibility of performing robotic or endoscopic thyroidectomy via BABA without the need for postoperative drainage, a finding that challenges conventional practices and reduces patient discomfort. In a multicenter trial, Kang and his team showed that omitting drainage does not increase complication rates, offering a streamlined recovery pathway for patients. While his most-cited paper has garnered 3 citations, its clinical significance lies in its potential to reshape postoperative protocols in thyroid surgery. Kang’s research underscores a commitment to refining surgical techniques that enhance patient outcomes, reduce hospital stays, and minimize scarring. His work is particularly notable for its focus on cosmetic and functional benefits, making him a key figure in the evolution of scarless thyroid surgery. For students and researchers, Kang’s studies exemplify how rigorous clinical trials can translate into practical, patient-centered innovations.
