About
Dr. Dong Sik Bae is a pioneering surgeon whose research centers on advancing robotic thyroid surgery, particularly through the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA). His major contributions include systematically evaluating the safety, efficacy, and oncological outcomes of robotic thyroidectomy, with landmark studies demonstrating that BABA robotic total thyroidectomy offers comparable results to open surgery while improving cosmetic outcomes. Dr. Bae has been instrumental in refining surgical techniques, as evidenced by his work on intraoperative neuromonitoring of the recurrent laryngeal and superior laryngeal nerves, enhancing nerve preservation during robotic procedures. His research has garnered significant attention, with his most cited papers accumulating over 170 citations, including a seminal 2014 survey on robotic thyroid surgery in South Korea (30 citations) and a propensity-matched comparison study (26 citations). Notably, he has also explored innovative applications of robotic surgery beyond the thyroid, such as simultaneous subtotal gastrectomy and right hemicolectomy for synchronous cancers. Dr. Bae’s work has shaped clinical guidelines and training protocols, establishing him as a key figure in the evolution of minimally invasive robotic endocrine surgery.
