About
Than Levan is a pioneering figure in minimally invasive endocrine surgery, best known for advancing robotic-assisted adrenalectomy and refining laparoscopic techniques for adrenal and renal procedures. His seminal 2008 study, "Robotic-assisted adrenalectomy: what advantages compared to lateral transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy?" (188 citations), established a critical benchmark by systematically comparing robotic and laparoscopic approaches, demonstrating that robotic assistance offers superior precision, reduced blood loss, and shorter hospital stays—findings that helped shape modern surgical protocols. Beyond this landmark work, Levan has contributed extensively to optimizing perioperative outcomes and expanding the indications for robotic surgery in complex adrenal pathologies. His research has been instrumental in demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic techniques, influencing clinical guidelines worldwide. With a citation impact reflecting his role as a key opinion leader, Levan continues to mentor the next generation of surgeons and drive innovation in endocrine surgery, bridging the gap between technological advancement and patient-centered care.
