About

Dr. Yeon Jin Kim is a pioneering breast surgeon whose research is reshaping the landscape of oncologic surgery. Her primary focus lies in the advancement and refinement of robot-assisted mastectomy, particularly nipple-sparing techniques, aiming to improve both oncological outcomes and cosmetic results for breast cancer patients. Dr. Kim’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and safety of this minimally invasive approach, with her landmark 2023 paper, “Robot-assisted mastectomy: next major advance in breast cancer surgery,” establishing a new paradigm in the field. She has further defined the learning curve for this complex procedure in her 2024 study, providing critical guidance for surgical teams worldwide. With over 26 citations to her most influential works, Dr. Kim’s research is rapidly gaining recognition. Her work not only validates the role of robotics in breast surgery but also paves the way for wider adoption, ultimately offering patients a less invasive option with superior aesthetic preservation.
