About

Dr. Sara Sulaiman is a pioneering surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive thyroid surgery, particularly through robotic-assisted techniques. Her work has significantly shaped the field of endocrine surgery, with a special emphasis on improving patient outcomes and cosmetic results. In her landmark 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis comparing Bilateral Axillo-Breast Approach Robotic Thyroidectomy (BABA-RT) and Transoral Robotic Thyroidectomy (TORT), Dr. Sulaiman provided critical evidence on the safety, efficacy, and aesthetic advantages of these innovative procedures. This study, which has already garnered 9 citations, underscores her role in refining surgical approaches that reduce scarring and recovery time. Beyond this, Dr. Sulaiman’s contributions include developing standardized protocols for robotic thyroid surgery, training surgeons globally, and advocating for patient-centered care. Her work has been instrumental in establishing robotic thyroidectomy as a viable alternative to traditional open surgery, particularly for patients concerned about visible neck scars. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Sulaiman continues to influence surgical practice and inspire the next generation of endocrine surgeons through her rigorous research and clinical excellence.
