About
Eunjue Yi is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly for thymic and mediastinal pathologies. Her major contributions lie in the development and validation of subxiphoid single-port robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (SRATS), a novel approach that offers reduced postoperative pain and faster recovery compared to traditional transthoracic or sternotomy methods. In her landmark 2024 multi-institutional, retrospective, propensity score-matched study, Yi demonstrated that SRATS thymectomy using the single-port robotic system is not only feasible but also yields outcomes comparable to video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), with 12 citations already underscoring its clinical relevance. This work has positioned her as a leader in robotic thoracic innovation, bridging the gap between emerging technology and patient-centered care. Yi’s research has been instrumental in reshaping surgical paradigms, offering a less invasive alternative for thymectomy that prioritizes recovery without compromising efficacy. Her achievements highlight a career dedicated to refining surgical precision and expanding access to advanced robotic techniques, making her a key figure in the evolution of thoracic surgery.
