About

Mengmeng Wu is a leading figure in endocrine surgery, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive thyroid procedures. Her primary research centers on advancing gasless transaxillary endoscopic thyroidectomy, a technique that eliminates visible neck scarring while maintaining oncologic rigor. Wu’s major contribution is the systematic codification of this complex surgery, most notably in her highly cited 2022 work, “Surgical Steps of Gasless Transaxillary Endoscopic Thyroidectomy: From A to Z,” which has garnered 13 citations. This paper provides a comprehensive, step-by-step blueprint that has become an essential reference for surgeons worldwide, addressing the rising incidence of differentiated thyroid cancer—now one of the most common malignancies in women—by offering a superior alternative to the traditional Kocher incision. Her work directly tackles the growing demand for cosmetic outcomes without compromising cancer treatment. Wu’s impact lies in democratizing a technically demanding procedure, making it reproducible and safer for broader clinical adoption. Through her meticulous documentation and educational contributions, she has established herself as a key innovator in the field, shaping how the next generation of surgeons approaches thyroid cancer surgery.
