About

Dr. Nak-Hoon Son is a leading breast surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of oncologic surgery, with a particular focus on advancing minimally invasive techniques for breast cancer treatment. His primary research centers on the comparative outcomes of endoscopic and robotic-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) versus the conventional open approach. Dr. Son’s most cited work, a 2024 study with 32 citations, provides critical evidence on the safety and efficacy of these emerging methods, addressing a significant gap in the literature by systematically evaluating postoperative complications and recovery benefits. By demonstrating that minimal-access NSM can achieve comparable oncologic outcomes with potentially superior cosmetic results and reduced morbidity, his research is directly influencing surgical practice and patient choice. This pivotal contribution has established him as a key voice in the transition toward less invasive breast cancer surgery, offering patients new options without compromising safety. Dr. Son’s ongoing investigations continue to refine these techniques, promising to further reduce surgical trauma and improve quality of life for women facing mastectomy.
