About
Dr. Sara Sound is a pioneering surgeon whose work centers on the application of advanced robotic and fluorescence imaging technologies to endocrine surgery. Her primary research focuses on enhancing the precision and minimizing the invasiveness of procedures for adrenal and parathyroid diseases. Dr. Sound’s most significant contribution is her landmark feasibility study on using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging for intraoperative tumor localization during robotic adrenalectomy. This work, cited 57 times, demonstrated a novel method to distinguish adrenal tissue from surrounding structures in real-time, directly improving surgical accuracy and patient safety. She is also a leading voice in the evolution of robotic parathyroidectomy, having authored a seminal review on patient selection and surgical technique for this scarless, albeit technically demanding, approach. Her research effectively bridges the gap between emerging technology and clinical application, providing a critical roadmap for surgeons adopting these complex procedures. Through her work, Dr. Sound has established herself as a key innovator in the drive toward more precise, less invasive endocrine surgery.
