About
Andrew M. Hinson is a surgical outcomes researcher whose work has shaped our understanding of the adoption and safety of robotic thyroid surgery. His landmark study, "Trends in Robotic Thyroid Surgery in the United States from 2009 Through 2013," remains a cornerstone in the field, cited 48 times for its comprehensive analysis of national practice patterns. Using the University HealthSystem Consortium database, Hinson documented the rapid rise of robotic thyroidectomy, revealing critical insights into patient selection, hospital volume, and perioperative outcomes. This work provided the first large-scale, multi-institutional evidence that helped surgeons and policymakers evaluate the real-world diffusion of this emerging technology. Beyond this signature contribution, Hinson’s research portfolio spans health services research, surgical quality improvement, and the intersection of technology and clinical practice. His rigorous methodology and focus on population-level data have made his findings essential reading for endocrine surgeons, health economists, and trainees seeking to understand how surgical innovation translates from academic centers to broader clinical adoption.
