Sung Mi Kang

About

Dr. Sung Mi Kang is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose research has significantly advanced minimally invasive surgical approaches for cancer treatment. Her work centers on the development and validation of robot-assisted techniques, particularly the transaxillary and retroauricular (“TARA”) approach, which offers patients reduced scarring and faster recovery times without compromising oncologic safety. Her landmark study, "Feasibility of Robot-Assisted Neck Dissections via a Transaxillary and Retroauricular (“TARA”) Approach in Head and Neck Cancer: Preliminary Results" (2011), has garnered 85 citations, establishing a foundational framework for robotic neck dissections. This work demonstrates her commitment to translating innovative surgical methods into clinical practice, improving outcomes for patients with head and neck malignancies. Dr. Kang’s contributions have been instrumental in shaping the field of robotic head and neck surgery, earning her recognition as a key figure in the evolution of less invasive cancer treatments. Her research continues to inspire surgeons and researchers seeking to refine surgical precision and patient quality of life.
