About

Dr. Goonj Johri is a pioneering endocrine surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive and cosmetically superior approaches to thyroid surgery. Her primary research focuses on the refinement and application of the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) for robotic thyroidectomy, a technique that eliminates visible neck scars while maintaining surgical precision and safety. In her landmark 2020 paper on this subject, Dr. Johri demonstrated how this patient-centered innovation aligns with the growing demand for procedures that prioritize both clinical outcomes and aesthetic satisfaction. Though early in its citation history, this work has established her as a key voice in the evolution of endoscopic and robotic endocrine surgery. Her contributions are particularly significant for young patients and those with hypertrophic scarring tendencies, offering a transformative alternative to traditional open thyroidectomy. Dr. Johri’s research bridges the gap between surgical excellence and quality of life, positioning her at the forefront of a paradigm shift toward scarless, minimally invasive endocrine procedures. Her ongoing work continues to shape best practices in robotic head and neck surgery.
