About
Dr. Yong Joon Suh is a pioneering endocrine surgeon whose research centers on optimizing surgical outcomes in thyroid and parathyroid surgery, with a particular focus on minimally invasive and robotic techniques. His most cited work, a 2017 study on preoperative flap-site injection with ropivacaine and epinephrine in bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) robotic and endoscopic thyroidectomy, demonstrated that this targeted intervention safely reduces postoperative pain—a significant contribution to enhancing patient recovery and comfort in scarless neck surgery. By identifying the specific anatomical sites where local anesthesia provides the greatest relief, Dr. Suh’s research has refined perioperative pain management protocols, directly impacting clinical practice. With over 15 citations for this landmark paper, his work is widely recognized for bridging the gap between surgical innovation and patient-centered care. Dr. Suh’s broader research portfolio continues to advance the safety and efficacy of robotic thyroidectomy, establishing him as a key figure in the evolution of endocrine surgery. His dedication to evidence-based, minimally invasive approaches makes him an influential voice for surgeons and trainees seeking to improve outcomes while minimizing patient discomfort.
