About
Dr. Keiso Ho is a pioneering endocrine surgeon whose work has fundamentally shaped the field of remote-access parathyroid surgery. His primary research focus is the development, classification, and critical evaluation of minimally invasive techniques for parathyroidectomy, with a specific emphasis on approaches that avoid visible neck scarring. Dr. Ho’s major contribution is a landmark 2022 scoping review that systematically classified and assessed all contemporary remote-access parathyroidectomy (RAP) methods for the first time. This comprehensive analysis, which has garnered 7 citations, meticulously evaluated the pros, cons, and technical nuances of each approach—from transaxillary to retroauricular—providing an essential evidence-based roadmap for surgeons. By synthesizing two decades of innovation following the first RAP series described by his coauthors in 2000, Dr. Ho’s work directly addresses a critical gap in the literature, offering clarity on tool selection and procedural safety. His scholarship empowers surgeons to tailor the best approach for each patient, balancing cosmetic outcomes with surgical efficacy. Through this rigorous synthesis, Dr. Ho has established himself as a key authority in the evolution of scarless parathyroid surgery, guiding both current practice and future innovation.
