About
De-Liang Li is a pioneering surgeon and researcher in the field of minimally invasive thyroid surgery, with a particular focus on transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy. His major contribution lies in advancing the feasibility and safety of flexible endoscopic transoral thyroidectomy, a technique that eliminates visible neck scars by accessing the thyroid through the oral cavity. In his landmark 2020 pilot study on a porcine model, Li demonstrated the technical viability of this approach, providing the first video-documented evidence of its potential. This work has garnered 8 citations, laying the groundwork for clinical applications and inspiring further innovation in scarless thyroid surgery. Li’s research bridges the gap between endoscopic surgery and patient-centered outcomes, addressing both cosmetic concerns and surgical precision. His pilot study remains a foundational reference for surgeons exploring transoral approaches, highlighting his role as a key contributor to the evolution of thyroid surgery. Through his meticulous methodology and clear documentation, Li has helped shape a new frontier in endocrine surgery.
