Carl Bhatt

Carl Bhatt advances surgical techniques for thyroid cancer including robotic and minimally invasive thyroidectomy approaches. His research has compared oncological outcomes and complication rates of conventional open thyroidectomy versus robotic transaxillary and retroauricular approaches, contributing to the evidence base for these techniques. He has investigated nerve monitoring technologies to reduce recurrent laryngeal nerve injury during thyroid and lymph node surgery. His clinical outcomes research has characterized the relationship between surgical volume and complication rates in thyroid cancer surgery, informing regionalization of complex thyroid cancer care to high-volume centers.
