About
Yiqi Hou is a pioneering endocrine surgeon whose research focuses on minimally invasive and cosmetically superior approaches to thyroid surgery, particularly for differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Hou’s major contributions lie in comparing novel surgical techniques—such as endoscopic bilateral areolar thyroidectomy and robotic-assisted bilateral axillo-breast approach thyroidectomy—to establish their safety, feasibility, and aesthetic advantages over conventional open procedures. Their 2023 propensity-matched retrospective cohort study, which has garnered 10 citations, provides critical evidence that these advanced approaches yield comparable oncologic outcomes while significantly improving postoperative quality of life and cosmetic satisfaction. By systematically evaluating surgical view, invasiveness, and patient recovery, Hou has helped define best practices for scarless thyroid surgery, directly influencing clinical decision-making in endocrine oncology. This work underscores Hou’s commitment to patient-centered innovation, bridging the gap between technological advancement and real-world surgical application. Their findings are increasingly referenced by surgeons seeking to optimize both oncologic rigor and patient-reported outcomes, marking Hou as a rising authority in the field of minimally invasive thyroid surgery.
