About

Radu Mihai is a leading endocrine surgeon whose research has fundamentally shaped the understanding of patient outcomes in thyroid and adrenal surgery. His work bridges the critical gap between surgical volume and patient safety, particularly through his landmark contributions to the "volume-outcome" debate in adrenal surgery. As a key author of the European Society of Endocrine Surgeons (ESES) consensus statement (58 citations), Mihai helped establish the definition of a high-volume adrenal surgeon as one performing four or more cases per year—a standard now widely adopted to improve patient outcomes. His patient-centered research is exemplified by his highly cited study on morbidity after thyroid surgery (65 citations), which gave voice to patient perspectives and highlighted quality-of-life concerns often overlooked in clinical metrics. Mihai has also been instrumental in setting national standards as a contributor to the British Association of Head and Neck Oncologists (BAHNO) 2020 guidelines, and he has advanced the field through international multicenter studies on robotic and laparoscopic adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma. His textbook *Thyroid and Parathyroid Diseases* remains a definitive resource for surgeons worldwide. With over 190 citations across his most influential works, Mihai’s research continues to drive evidence-based improvements in endocrine surgical care.
