About

Seung Wook Jung is a pioneering surgeon and researcher in the field of robotic head and neck surgery, with a particular focus on minimally invasive techniques for salivary gland disorders. His most notable contribution is the development of robot-assisted submandibular gland excision via a modified facelift incision, a groundbreaking approach that addresses the limitations of conventional transcervical resection. By leveraging the precision of robotic systems, Jung’s method significantly reduces surgical risks—such as nerve damage and scarring—while delivering superior cosmetic outcomes, as demonstrated in his 2017 case series (11 citations). This work has positioned him as a key figure in advancing aesthetic and functional results in otolaryngology. Beyond this, Jung’s research explores the broader application of robotic platforms in head and neck surgeries, aiming to minimize invasiveness and improve patient recovery. His achievements have earned him recognition among peers for bridging surgical innovation with patient-centered care. With a growing citation impact, Jung continues to inspire surgeons and researchers to adopt robotic techniques, reshaping standards in salivary gland surgery and beyond.
