About

Jeong Jin Park is a pioneering surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery and head and neck oncology. His primary research focus is the development and refinement of endoscopic and robotic approaches for neck dissections, with the goal of reducing surgical morbidity while maintaining oncologic safety. Park’s most significant contribution is his demonstration of the feasibility of endoscopic supraomohyoid neck dissection (SOND) via a retroauricular or modified facelift approach, a technique that avoids visible anterior neck scars. His foundational 2013 paper on this method, which has garnered 43 citations, established a new paradigm for accessing the neck’s lymphatic basins through hidden incisions. Beyond this landmark work, Park has been instrumental in advancing robotic thyroidectomy and transoral robotic surgery, consistently pushing the boundaries of what is possible with minimal access. His research has been widely cited by peers seeking to replicate and expand upon his techniques. For students and researchers, Park’s career exemplifies how a focused, technically innovative approach can transform surgical practice, offering patients better cosmetic outcomes without compromising the rigorous standards of cancer surgery.
