About

Yeon Kim is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in the field of robotic and single-port myomectomy. Her major contribution lies in the development of the hybrid robotic single-site myomectomy (H-RSSM), a novel surgical approach that integrates the benefits of single-port laparoscopy and robotic single-site surgery to overcome the limitations of each technique. This work, detailed in her most-cited paper from 2019, has garnered 13 citations, reflecting its growing influence among surgeons seeking safer, more effective options for uterine fibroid removal. Kim’s innovation addresses critical challenges in myomectomy, such as improved ergonomics and enhanced tissue extraction, while maintaining the cosmetic advantages of single-incision surgery. Her research has practical implications for reducing patient recovery time and surgical complications, making her a respected voice in the evolution of robotic gynecologic surgery. Through her dedication to refining surgical platforms like the GelPoint system, Yeon Kim continues to shape the future of minimally invasive gynecology, inspiring both clinicians and researchers to push the boundaries of what is possible in operative care.
