About

Hae Kyung Yoo is a gynecologic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the forefront of minimally invasive robotic surgery for benign gynecologic diseases. Based at an academic tertiary care hospital, Yoo has established herself as a pioneering figure in robotic single-port surgery, with a particular focus on harnessing the da Vinci® SP surgical system to advance patient outcomes in procedures such as hysterectomy and myomectomy. Her most influential contribution — a 2020 preliminary report on robotic single-port surgery for benign gynecologic disease — has garnered 66 citations, reflecting the significant interest her early clinical experience generated within the surgical community. Subsequent work has expanded this foundation considerably: a landmark analysis of 626 robotic single-site surgeries illuminated the learning curve and scalability of these techniques, while a 2023 retrospective study directly comparing single-port and multisite robotic hysterectomy provided critical comparative evidence to guide surgical decision-making. Yoo's research collectively demonstrates a commitment to rigorous outcome evaluation and iterative refinement of emerging surgical technologies. Her contributions have helped legitimize and accelerate the adoption of single-port robotic approaches, offering clinicians evidence-based guidance and offering patients the prospect of less invasive, highly precise gynecologic care.
