About
Dr. Jiqi Yan is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive thyroid surgery, with a specialized focus on robotic thyroidectomy techniques. Their major contributions center on refining the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) for robotic thyroidectomy, a method that eliminates visible neck scars. Dr. Yan’s foundational work, analyzing the learning curve through the initial 220 cases, has been instrumental in establishing safe and effective training protocols for this complex procedure. This study, with 22 citations, remains a key reference for surgeons adopting the technique. Further demonstrating their expertise, Dr. Yan led the development of the "Chinese expert consensus on transoral vestibular approach robotic thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy (version 2024)," a landmark achievement that standardizes an even more advanced, scarless surgical approach. Their research also provides critical insights into operative efficiency, identifying predictive factors for prolonged surgery time in a large cohort of 359 differentiated thyroid cancer patients. Through these contributions, Dr. Yan has significantly shaped the landscape of modern, cosmetically superior endocrine surgery, directly impacting patient outcomes and surgical training worldwide.
