About

Duygu Derya Uzun is a pioneering surgeon whose research focuses on the intersection of robotic technology and endocrine surgery, particularly in the treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism. Her most-cited work, "Robotic surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism" (2014), with 35 citations, represents a significant contribution to minimally invasive surgical techniques. This study helped establish robotic-assisted parathyroidectomy as a viable, precise alternative to traditional open surgery, offering patients reduced scarring, faster recovery, and improved outcomes. Uzun’s research addresses the critical challenge of localizing and excising overactive parathyroid glands with enhanced dexterity and visualization, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in endocrine surgery. Her work has influenced surgical protocols and training, demonstrating how robotic platforms can be adapted for complex, delicate procedures. By bridging surgical innovation with patient-centered care, Uzun has positioned herself as a key figure in the evolution of robotic endocrine surgery, inspiring future surgeons to explore technology-driven solutions for historically invasive operations.
