Dr. Randolph’s primary research interests include anatomy, preservation, and intraoperative monitoring of recurrent laryngeal nerve, superior laryngeal nerve, and vagus nerve; improving outcomes; and decreasing morbidity of thyroid cancer surgery, with focus on voice and laryngeal exams, recognition of lymph node metastasis, and revision cancer surgery.

Dr. Randolph pioneered a clinical intraoperative neural monitoring program involving our Anesthesia, Audiology, and Otolaryngology Departments, which provides electrophysiologic neural monitoring during thyroid and parathyroid surgery.

Dr. Randolph’s work on voice and laryngeal exams has stimulated importance of voice preservation and awareness of role of laryngeal exams before and after thyroid surgery in the surgical community. His work on intraoperative nerve monitoring as well as voice has culminated into international guidelines for recurrent laryngeal nerve and superior laryngeal nerve intraoperative monitoring and improving voice outcomes guidelines.

Dr. Randolph continues investigations to improve intraoperative nerve monitoring, preservation of voice, and to generate algorithms to improve thyroid cancer management.
