About
Dr. Seulkee Park is a pioneering surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic endocrine surgery, particularly for thyroid and adrenal pathologies. With a career-defining focus on minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Park has been instrumental in validating and refining robotic thyroidectomy using the gasless, transaxillary approach. Their landmark study, "Surgical complications after robotic thyroidectomy for thyroid carcinoma: a single center experience with 3,000 patients" (111 citations), provides the largest single-center evidence for the safety and feasibility of this procedure. Dr. Park’s research rigorously compares robotic methods to conventional open surgery, demonstrating superior patient body image outcomes (76 citations) and comparable surgical completeness (61 citations). Beyond the thyroid, they have advanced adrenal surgery, notably through comparative studies of transperitoneal and posterior retroperitoneoscopic approaches (102 citations) and pioneering work on single-port robot-assisted adrenalectomy (39 citations). By systematically addressing technical feasibility, patient selection, and surgical outcomes, Dr. Park has provided the foundational evidence that has helped transform robotic endocrine surgery from a novel concept into a viable, patient-centered standard of care.
