About
Dr. Sang Gyu Kwak is a surgeon-researcher whose work bridges two distinct and impactful domains: minimally invasive thyroid surgery and advanced orthopedic techniques. In thyroid surgery, Dr. Kwak is a leading voice on cosmetic outcomes, having conducted pivotal comparative studies of transoral, transaxillary, and postauricular approaches against conventional methods. His 2021 paper on this topic, which has garnered 44 citations, provides critical evidence for surgeons seeking to minimize visible scarring while maintaining oncologic safety, directly influencing patient-centered care in endocrine surgery. In the orthopedic arena, Dr. Kwak has turned his analytical focus to total knee arthroplasty (TKA), specifically investigating techniques that spare the femoral intramedullary cavity. His 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis, though recent, addresses a key clinical question: whether navigation, robotic assistance, or patient-specific instrumentation can reduce perioperative blood loss. By synthesizing data across these modern alignment technologies, Dr. Kwak’s work offers surgeons evidence-based guidance for safer, more efficient procedures. This dual expertise—combining aesthetic surgical outcomes with quantitative, evidence-driven orthopedic research—marks Dr. Kwak as a versatile contributor to surgical innovation, with his work already shaping practice in both fields.
