About
Dr. Ziyi Fan is a pioneering surgeon whose research centers on minimally invasive robotic approaches for thyroid and parathyroid surgery, with a particular focus on papillary thyroid carcinoma and secondary hyperparathyroidism. Dr. Fan has made landmark contributions by systematically comparing and refining robotic techniques—most notably the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) and transoral vestibular approach—against conventional open procedures. Their 2016 comparative study on robotic total thyroidectomy with central lymph node dissection for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (64 citations) established the cosmetic and recovery benefits of robotic surgery for young female patients. Dr. Fan’s extensive single-center experience with 260 robotic lateral cervical lymph node dissections (34 citations) demonstrated the feasibility and safety of advanced robotic neck dissections. More recently, their 2022 comparative analysis of transoral versus axillary-breast robotic thyroidectomy (27 citations) has guided surgical decision-making. Dr. Fan also authored the 2024 Chinese expert consensus on transoral vestibular approach robotic thyroidectomy, cementing their role as a national leader in standardizing these innovative techniques. Their work has collectively garnered over 160 citations, shaping modern endocrine surgery.
