About
Keren Hod is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive endocrine surgery, particularly through the transoral endoscopic vestibular approach (TOEVA) for thyroid and parathyroid procedures. Her major contribution lies in demonstrating that surgeons without prior laparoscopic or robotic experience can safely adopt and master TOEVA, a finding that broadens access to this scarless technique and challenges traditional training paradigms. Her 2020 study on this topic, with 15 citations, provides critical evidence that expands the surgical workforce capable of performing these operations, directly impacting patient care by reducing visible scarring and recovery time. Hod’s work addresses a key barrier to adoption, making her a notable figure in the shift toward less invasive neck surgery. Her research is essential reading for surgeons and trainees interested in modernizing endocrine surgical practice, as it offers practical guidance for integrating TOEVA into routine use.
