About
Dr. Botao Sun is a pioneering surgeon whose research is reshaping the landscape of thyroid and neck surgery, with a sharp focus on minimally invasive and robotic techniques. His work primarily advances the field of endoscopic and robotic thyroidectomy, particularly through the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA). Dr. Sun’s major contributions include defining the safety and oncologic efficacy of BABA robotic thyroidectomy, a procedure that eliminates visible neck scars. He is also a leading voice in the emerging field of endoscopic lateral neck dissection for metastatic thyroid cancer, a procedure that extends the cosmetic and recovery benefits of minimally invasive surgery to more complex cases. His research on the learning curve for BABA robotic thyroidectomy, using CUSUM analysis, provides a crucial roadmap for surgeons adopting this technique, while his work on Indocyanine Green Angiography (ICGA) offers a novel method to preserve parathyroid function during robotic procedures. With his most cited papers accumulating over 58 citations, Dr. Sun is establishing a strong evidence base for the next generation of scarless, patient-centered thyroid cancer care.
