About
Dr. Joo Sun Yun is a leading figure in thyroid surgery, whose work has significantly advanced perioperative pain management and minimally invasive techniques. Her research centers on optimizing patient outcomes in endocrine surgery, with a particular focus on reducing surgical stress and improving recovery after robot-assisted and endoscopic thyroidectomies. Her most cited study, a clinical trial on paracetamol for postoperative pain following robot-assisted endoscopic thyroidectomy by the transaxillary approach, demonstrated that repeated intravenous administration effectively reduces pain scores and the need for rescue analgesics. This work, with 38 citations, has provided a simple yet powerful protocol to enhance patient comfort and minimize opioid use in a novel surgical field. Dr. Yun’s contributions are pivotal in refining the standard of care for thyroid surgery, making procedures safer and more tolerable. Her research continues to shape best practices, offering evidence-based solutions that directly improve the surgical experience for patients undergoing these advanced, scarless operations.
