About
Dr. Clare Fung is a leading surgical endocrinologist whose work focuses on minimally invasive adrenal surgery, particularly for complex conditions like pheochromocytoma. Her major contributions center on establishing safety and efficacy data for robotic and laparoscopic adrenalectomy in high-risk patient populations. In her landmark international multicenter study, Dr. Fung demonstrated that robotic adrenalectomy offers comparable outcomes to laparoscopy for pheochromocytoma, with the added benefit of reduced blood loss and shorter hospital stays—findings that have garnered 12 citations. She further advanced the field by analyzing outcomes in patients with obesity undergoing adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma, showing that minimally invasive approaches remain safe and effective even in this challenging cohort, a study cited 7 times. Her work has been instrumental in expanding surgical options for patients traditionally considered high-risk, directly influencing clinical guidelines. Dr. Fung’s research is distinguished by its collaborative, multicenter design, ensuring robust, generalizable results that have shaped modern adrenal surgery.
