About
Dr. Junlan Liu is a pioneering surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of robotic thyroid surgery. His primary research focuses on minimally invasive thyroidectomy techniques, particularly the development and refinement of the da Vinci robot-assisted approach. Dr. Liu’s major contribution is the establishment of the Unilateral Axilla-Bilateral Areola (UABA) approach, a novel method that balances surgical access with superior cosmetic outcomes. In his landmark study, "Unilateral Axilla-Bilateral Areola Approach for Thyroidectomy by da Vinci Robot: 500 Cases Treated by the Same Surgeon," he retrospectively analyzed a large cohort of 500 patients, demonstrating the procedure’s efficacy and safety. This work, with 10 citations, provides critical evidence for the reproducibility and low complication rates of the UABA technique, making it a valuable reference for endocrine surgeons worldwide. Dr. Liu’s dedication to surgical innovation and his extensive experience—performing all 500 cases himself—underscore his role as a leading authority in robotic thyroid surgery, offering patients a scarless and effective alternative to traditional open surgery.
