About
Yun Suk Choi is a South Korean surgical innovator whose research sits at the forefront of robotic and minimally invasive surgery, with particular expertise in thyroid, parathyroid, hernia, gastric, and adrenal procedures. Operating primarily through a single-surgeon framework, Choi has made remarkable contributions to advancing remote-access surgical techniques, most notably the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) for robotic thyroidectomy and modified radical neck dissection using the da Vinci Xi system. His landmark series documenting 500 consecutive robotic BABA thyroid surgeries stands as a testament to both technical mastery and institutional commitment to innovation, garnering significant academic attention with over 22 combined citations. Choi has also broken new ground in South Korea by introducing robot-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair, earning 17 citations for that pioneering report. His exploration of cutting-edge technologies — including the da Vinci SP single-port system for areolar approach thyroidectomy and indocyanine green fluorescence-guided parathyroidectomy — reflects a consistent drive to refine patient outcomes and minimize surgical scarring. Across his body of work, Choi exemplifies the modern surgeon-scholar pushing the boundaries of robotic surgical care.
