About
Dr. Gaofeng Xue is a leading thyroid surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive thyroid surgery. His research focuses on advancing robotic and endoscopic techniques to improve patient outcomes, with a particular emphasis on the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) and intraoperative neural monitoring. Dr. Xue’s major contributions include pioneering the use of percutaneous continuous intraoperative nerve monitoring (C-IONM) in robotic bilateral axillo-breast thyroid surgery, a technique that simplifies nerve protection during complex procedures. His landmark comparative study of 757 patients, demonstrating superior outcomes for robotic BABA over endoscopic bilateral areola thyroidectomy, has been highly influential, accumulating 14 citations. This work, alongside his clinical experience paper on C-IONM (15 citations), has established new standards for safety and efficacy in the field. Dr. Xue’s research is critical for surgeons seeking to minimize complications like recurrent laryngeal nerve injury while maximizing cosmetic and recovery benefits. His dedication to refining surgical protocols at a high-volume Chinese center positions him as a key figure in the global adoption of robotic thyroid surgery.
