About
Shihao An is a pioneering surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive endocrine surgery. His primary research focuses on advancing robotic-assisted thyroidectomy, with a particular emphasis on the single-port trans-axillary approach—a technique that eliminates visible neck scars while maintaining oncologic rigor. An’s landmark study, "Safety and surgical outcomes of single-port trans-axillary robot-assisted thyroidectomy: Experience from a consecutive series of 300 patients" (2024), has already garnered 11 citations, establishing a benchmark for procedural safety and reproducibility. This work demonstrates his commitment to refining surgical ergonomics and patient outcomes, proving that high-volume, scarless thyroid surgery is both feasible and safe. Beyond this, An’s contributions extend to optimizing perioperative protocols and reducing complication rates, directly influencing how thyroid cancer and benign nodules are managed in leading surgical centers. His meticulous documentation of a large patient cohort provides invaluable data for surgeons transitioning to robotic platforms. As a rising authority in robotic head and neck surgery, Shihao An is not only advancing technical frontiers but also setting new standards for evidence-based, patient-centered care in endocrine surgery.
