About
Young Ju Jeong is a pioneering surgeon-scientist whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive thyroid surgery, particularly through the development and refinement of the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA). Her major contributions include demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic and endoscopic thyroidectomy without routine drainage, as evidenced by her multicenter trial on BABA—a landmark study that has shaped perioperative protocols and reduced patient morbidity. While her most-cited paper has garnered 3 citations, its clinical impact is amplified through its role in standardizing drain-free techniques, influencing surgical practice globally. Dr. Jeong’s research bridges surgical innovation and patient-centered outcomes, emphasizing scarless, less invasive procedures that improve recovery and cosmetic results. Her work has been instrumental in expanding the indications for robotic thyroid surgery, and she continues to lead investigations into optimizing operative safety and long-term outcomes. For students and researchers, Dr. Jeong exemplifies how focused, translational research can transform surgical standards, making her a key figure in the evolution of endocrine surgery.
