About

Woong Bae Ji is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive endocrine surgery, with a primary focus on robotic and endoscopic approaches for thyroid and adrenal pathologies. His major contributions lie in the rigorous comparative analysis of surgical techniques, providing critical evidence to guide clinical decision-making. In his highly cited 2019 study (31 citations), Ji conducted a detailed comparison of robotic versus endoscopic transaxillary thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid carcinoma, elucidating the nuanced procedural differences and outcomes that help surgeons optimize patient selection. Further demonstrating his commitment to surgical innovation, his 2023 work compared robotic and laparoscopic lateral transperitoneal adrenalectomies, offering valuable data on intraoperative and postoperative outcomes. By systematically evaluating the efficacy and safety of these advanced technologies, Ji’s research directly informs the evolution of surgical practice, helping to reduce invasiveness and improve recovery for patients. His work is essential reading for surgeons and researchers seeking to understand the real-world advantages of robotic platforms in endocrine surgery.
