About
Dr. Chih-Chien Wu is a colorectal surgeon whose work is redefining minimally invasive techniques for left-sided colorectal cancer and rectal cancer. His research centers on robotic-assisted surgery, with a specific focus on optimizing anastomotic methods and specimen extraction to improve patient outcomes. Dr. Wu’s major contribution is the development and refinement of the robotic intracorporeal single-stapled anastomosis (RiSSA) technique, a novel approach that combines single-stapling with natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE). This method aims to reduce surgical trauma and enhance recovery compared to traditional double-stapling. His pioneering work, detailed in a 2024 video vignette and subsequent technical notes, has already garnered attention, with his most cited papers accumulating several citations within their first year. Notably, his 2025 propensity score-weighted pilot study provides early comparative evidence of RiSSA’s safety and efficacy, marking a significant step toward establishing a new standard in robotic colorectal surgery. Dr. Wu’s innovative techniques are poised to influence surgical practice and improve the quality of life for patients undergoing total mesorectal excision.
