About

Benard Gjeloshi is a surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive thyroid surgery, particularly through robotic transaxillary approaches. His major contribution lies in challenging and expanding the traditional indications for remote-access thyroidectomy. In a highly cited 2023 study, Gjeloshi and his team retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent robotic transaxillary thyroidectomy, demonstrating that the procedure can be safely performed beyond the conservative 2016 American Thyroid Association guidelines—which limited it to nodules ≤3 cm, lobes <6 cm, and the absence of thyroiditis. By showing favorable outcomes in patients with larger nodules or concurrent thyroiditis, his work has broadened the pool of eligible candidates for scarless thyroid surgery, directly influencing clinical practice. This key paper has already garnered 7 citations, signaling its growing impact in the field of endocrine surgery. Gjeloshi’s research is pivotal for surgeons seeking to offer patients the cosmetic and recovery benefits of robotic approaches without compromising safety. His findings are a notable step toward redefining the boundaries of remote-access thyroid surgery.
