About

Seyma Nazli Avci is a surgeon specializing in minimally invasive adrenal surgery, with a particular focus on comparing laparoscopic and robotic approaches for complex patient populations. Her research centers on optimizing perioperative outcomes in adrenalectomy, especially for challenging cases such as pheochromocytoma and severe obesity. In her most cited work (19 citations), she demonstrated that robotic adrenalectomy offers comparable safety and efficacy to laparoscopic techniques for pheochromocytoma, while also highlighting potential advantages in tumor capsule preservation. A parallel study (18 citations) extended these findings to severely obese patients, showing that robotic approaches may reduce conversion rates and complications. Avci has also contributed to enhanced recovery protocols, investigating the efficacy of laparoscopic transversus abdominis plane blocks in reducing postoperative narcotic usage (4 citations). Her work bridges the gap between surgical innovation and patient-centered outcomes, providing evidence that guides the selection of minimally invasive techniques for high-risk adrenal surgery. Through these studies, Avci has established herself as a key voice in advancing robotic adrenalectomy and refining perioperative care for endocrine surgery patients.
