About
Dahee Kim is a pioneering surgical researcher specializing in minimally invasive and robotic approaches to head and neck oncology. Working at the forefront of surgical innovation, Kim has made landmark contributions to the development and refinement of robotic thyroidectomy, transoral robotic surgery (TORS), and endoscopic neck dissection techniques. Her 2015 study on robotic retroauricular thyroidectomy (62 citations) helped establish a novel approach that minimizes visible scarring, while her early work on endoscopic supraomohyoid neck dissection demonstrated the feasibility of less invasive oncological procedures. Kim led the first human trial of single-port robotic surgery for laryngo-pharyngeal cancer (2019, 42 citations), a milestone achievement that opened new frontiers for TORS. Her comparative studies across da Vinci surgical platforms — from the Si to Xi to single-port systems — have provided essential clinical guidance for surgeons worldwide. She has also pioneered integrative treatment strategies combining neoadjuvant chemotherapy with robotic surgery for advanced oropharyngeal and laryngeal cancers, and explored ICG-guided sentinel lymph node sampling in oral cancer. With over 300 cumulative citations, Kim's body of work reflects a sustained commitment to advancing precise, patient-centered surgical oncology.
