About
Qiuping Xie is a pioneering surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of minimally invasive thyroid surgery. Specializing in endoscopic thyroidectomy and the management of papillary thyroid carcinoma, Xie’s primary research focuses on developing techniques that eliminate visible scarring while maintaining oncological safety. Their most notable contribution is the introduction of “scarless” endoscopic thyroidectomy (SET) via a breast approach, a groundbreaking procedure that allows for the removal of the thyroid gland and dissection of ipsilateral levels II, III, and IV lymph nodes—all without a neck incision. This innovation, detailed in their 2014 preliminary report (32 citations), has reshaped surgical protocols by offering patients a cosmetic alternative without compromising cancer clearance. Xie’s work bridges the gap between aesthetic outcomes and rigorous surgical standards, making them a key figure in the evolution of head and neck surgery. Their research continues to influence clinical practice, demonstrating that patient-centered innovation can coexist with technical precision in the treatment of thyroid malignancies.
