About
Dr. Mohamed Shama is a rising surgical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of endocrine surgery, patient education, and innovative operative techniques. His primary research areas include thyroid surgery, robotic-assisted procedures, and the critical evaluation of digital health information. Dr. Shama’s most impactful contribution to date is his pioneering study on the quality of YouTube videos as a patient education source for novel thyroid surgical techniques (2021, 37 citations). This work highlighted a significant gap in online health literacy, demonstrating that while patients increasingly turn to platforms like YouTube for medical guidance, the content often lacks validated, up-to-date information. In a more recent landmark study, Dr. Shama evaluated the efficacy and safety of robotic versus conventional completion thyroidectomy over a ten-year period (2024). This research provides crucial, long-term comparative data that helps clarify the role of robotic surgery in complex thyroid cases, offering evidence to guide clinical decision-making. Through his focused investigations, Dr. Shama is making a tangible impact on both surgical practice and patient safety in the digital age.
