About
Dr. Nadine S. Turner is a pioneering endocrine surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of minimally invasive neck surgery. Her primary research focuses on the development and refinement of robotic-assisted techniques for thyroid and parathyroid procedures, with a particular emphasis on the robot-assisted transaxillary surgery (RATS) approach. Dr. Turner’s landmark 2010 paper, "Robot assisted transaxillary surgery (RATS) for the removal of thyroid and parathyroid glands," has garnered 143 citations, establishing her as a leading authority in this innovative surgical method. Her contributions have been instrumental in demonstrating the safety, efficacy, and cosmetic benefits of RATS, offering patients a scarless alternative to traditional open surgery. By systematically documenting outcomes and refining surgical protocols, Dr. Turner has helped transform the standard of care for endocrine neck surgery, reducing recovery times and improving patient satisfaction. Her work continues to inspire a new generation of surgeons to explore robotic platforms, and she remains a sought-after mentor and lecturer on the integration of technology into surgical practice.
