About
Dr. Vaninder K. Dhillon is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose research has fundamentally advanced the field of minimally invasive endocrine surgery. Her primary focus lies in the development and refinement of transoral thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy, techniques that allow for the removal of the thyroid and parathyroid glands through the mouth, eliminating visible neck scars. Her landmark 2017 study, "Transoral thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy – A North American series of robotic and endoscopic transoral approaches to the central neck," with over 170 citations, established the safety and feasibility of these approaches in a North American cohort, bridging a critical gap between Asian and Western surgical practices. This work has been instrumental in expanding patient access to scarless neck surgery, significantly impacting both surgical oncology and patient quality of life. Dr. Dhillon’s contributions have not only reshaped surgical standards but have also inspired a new generation of surgeons to explore innovative, patient-centered approaches to endocrine disorders.
