About
Dr. Sung Mo Kang is a clinical researcher whose work focuses on the surgical management of thyroid disease, with a particular emphasis on the complications and outcomes of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted thyroidectomy. His major contribution lies in documenting and analyzing rare but significant adverse events associated with novel surgical approaches. In his most-cited paper, "Iatrogenic Horner’s Syndrome Developing after Robot-assisted Transaxillary Total Thyroidectomy" (2021, 3 citations), Dr. Kang provides a detailed case report of a 31-year-old female who developed ptosis following a robot-assisted transaxillary total thyroidectomy, highlighting a previously underrecognized complication of this technique. This work is notable for its clinical relevance, as it alerts surgeons to the potential for sympathetic chain injury during robotic thyroid surgery, thereby improving preoperative counseling and intraoperative vigilance. Though his citation count is modest, Dr. Kang’s research contributes valuable safety data to the growing field of robotic endocrine surgery. His case-based approach underscores the importance of meticulous surgical technique and thorough postoperative monitoring, making his findings essential reading for surgeons adopting transaxillary approaches.
