Yeo Reum Jeon

About

Dr. Yeo Reum Jeon is a pioneering reconstructive microsurgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques in autologous breast reconstruction. Her primary research focus is the refinement of deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap surgery, particularly through the integration of robotic-assisted technology. Dr. Jeon’s most notable contribution is her landmark 2022 study, which introduced the first reported use of the da Vinci SP robotic system for extraperitoneal pedicle dissection in DIEP flap breast reconstruction. This innovative approach dramatically reduces the need for a long incision at the anterior rectus fascia, thereby minimizing donor-site morbidity, postoperative pain, and recovery time while maintaining excellent flap perfusion. Her work has garnered 14 citations to date, signaling its growing influence in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery. By demonstrating the feasibility and safety of single-port robotic pedicle harvest, Dr. Jeon is helping to set a new standard for less invasive, patient-centered breast reconstruction, offering hope for improved cosmetic outcomes and faster return to normal activity for mastectomy patients.
