About

Dr. Joyce Shin is a leading endocrine surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for adrenal disorders, particularly in complex patient populations. Her work has been instrumental in comparing robotic and laparoscopic approaches to adrenalectomy, with a special emphasis on outcomes for patients with primary hyperaldosteronism (PHA) and those with severe obesity. In her landmark 2017 study, Dr. Shin provided critical data on robotic versus laparoscopic adrenalectomy specifically for PHA patients, addressing a significant gap in the literature and guiding surgical decision-making for this condition. She further expanded this inquiry in her 2022 work, which examined outcomes in severely obese patients—a group often excluded from comparative trials. With her most-cited papers accumulating over 30 citations, Dr. Shin’s contributions have shaped best practices in adrenal surgery, demonstrating that robotic approaches can offer distinct advantages in challenging cases. Her research continues to influence how surgeons optimize patient selection and technique, ensuring safer, more effective care for those with adrenal tumors and metabolic comorbidities.
