About
Dr. Yeongyoon Koh is a pioneering oral and maxillofacial surgeon whose research focuses on advanced reconstructive techniques for head and neck cancer patients, particularly those undergoing robotic surgery. Her most notable contribution is the investigation and refinement of the "Jaw in a Day®" (JIAD) protocol, a single-stage procedure that combines jaw reconstruction with immediate dental implant placement and prosthetic rehabilitation. In her landmark 2025 case series, Dr. Koh demonstrated the feasibility of performing JIAD concurrently with robotic neck dissection for oral cancer patients, offering a transformative approach that restores both function and aesthetics in a single operation. This work, already garnering early citations, addresses a critical gap in oncologic reconstruction by reducing treatment duration and improving quality of life. Dr. Koh’s research bridges the disciplines of surgical oncology, microvascular reconstruction, and prosthodontics, establishing a new paradigm for comprehensive oral cancer care. Her innovative synthesis of robotic surgery with immediate dental rehabilitation positions her as a rising leader in maxillofacial reconstruction, with her findings poised to influence clinical protocols worldwide.
