I first met Se-Heon Kim and Yoon Woo Koh in October 2017, when I attended the 7th International Robotic Surgery Symposium (IRSS) at Yonsei University / Severance Hospital, during my second visit to Seoul.

The robotic surgery activity of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology at Severance Hospital is truly impressive, probably among the largest Head&Neck robotic surgery programmes worldwide. Their contribution extends well beyond surgical volume, encompassing both TORS and remote-access techniques, as well as the development and clinical introduction of new robotic technologies.
