About
Julie Ann Sosa is a pioneering endocrine surgeon and health services researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped the modern surgical management of thyroid, pancreatic, and adrenal cancers. Her research focuses on evaluating the safety, effectiveness, and national adoption of minimally invasive and robotic surgical techniques. A landmark 2015 study on minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy (248 citations) provided critical population-level data comparing outcomes to open surgery, while her 2014 analysis of transoral robotic surgery for oropharyngeal cancer (103 citations) helped define its role in head and neck oncology. Sosa has also been a leading voice in thyroid cancer surgery, authoring a highly cited 2018 review on recent advances and future directions (262 citations). Her work on robotic thyroidectomy and minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy has guided surgeons on patient selection and short-term oncologic outcomes. With studies spanning malignant pheochromocytoma and other rare tumors, Sosa’s contributions are distinguished by their rigorous, population-based methodology and direct impact on clinical practice. Her research has been cited thousands of times, reflecting her influence on surgical oncology and health policy.
