About
Dr. Hafize Basut Atalay is a pioneering endocrine surgeon whose work centers on minimally invasive adrenal surgery, with a particular focus on pheochromocytoma—a rare adrenal tumor that poses unique perioperative challenges. Her most impactful contributions come from two landmark international multicenter studies. The first, a 2024 analysis of robotic and laparoscopic adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma (12 citations), established critical safety and efficacy benchmarks for these advanced techniques. The second study (7 citations) broke new ground by examining surgical outcomes specifically in patients with obesity undergoing adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma, addressing a previously understudied population. By coordinating data across multiple institutions, Dr. Atalay has generated robust, generalizable evidence that directly informs surgical decision-making. Her work demonstrates that minimally invasive approaches can be safely applied even in complex cases, helping to expand surgical options for patients worldwide. These studies represent foundational contributions to adrenal surgery, providing the high-quality, multicenter data that guide modern practice.
