Florence Bihain

About

Florence Bihain is a leading endocrine surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for adrenal and thyroid surgery. Her major contributions center on the safety, efficacy, and expanding indications of robotic adrenalectomy, particularly for complex cases such as pheochromocytoma and partial adrenal resections. Her systematic review on robotic adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma (25 citations) and her comprehensive guide on when and how to perform robotic adrenalectomy (26 citations) have become key references for surgeons adopting this technology. Notably, she co-authored the official French recommendations for robotic thyroidectomy, a landmark document guiding national practice. With over 60 total citations, Bihain’s work is shaping the transition from laparoscopic to robotic approaches in endocrine surgery, emphasizing improved outcomes and organ preservation. Her research provides critical evidence for surgeons seeking to integrate robotics into their practice, making her a respected voice in the field of robotic endocrine surgery.
