About

Danah Ibrahim Alkandari is a rising surgical innovator whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive thyroid surgery. Her primary research focus lies in the comparative effectiveness of robotic thyroidectomy techniques, particularly the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA-RT) and the transoral approach (TORT). Her most-cited paper, a 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis, provides a rigorous, evidence-based comparison of these two advanced methods, offering crucial guidance for surgeons seeking to optimize patient outcomes while minimizing visible scarring. This work has already garnered 9 citations, signaling its immediate impact on the field. Beyond this landmark study, Alkandari’s contributions extend to refining surgical protocols and evaluating the safety and efficacy of robotic platforms in endocrine surgery. Her research is notable for its methodological rigor and its direct relevance to clinical practice, helping to define the future of scarless neck surgery. As a researcher, Alkandari is establishing herself as a key voice in the transition from traditional open thyroidectomy to precision robotic approaches, making her a vital figure for students and clinicians interested in the cutting edge of head and neck surgery.
