Han Wu

About

Han Wu is a leading thoracic surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for lung cancer and esophageal cancer, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted approaches. His most impactful work is a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis comparing robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) with video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for anatomic lung resection, which has garnered 76 citations. This study provides critical evidence on both long-term and short-term outcomes, helping to clarify the comparative benefits of robotic platforms in thoracic oncology. Beyond this landmark analysis, Wu has contributed detailed technical reports that serve as practical guides for complex procedures, including robotic left upper lobectomy, segmentectomy of the left upper lobe (S1+2+3), and McKeown esophagectomy. These publications, though smaller in citation count, demonstrate his hands-on expertise and commitment to standardizing advanced robotic techniques. Through his work at Ruijin Hospital, Wu has helped establish robotic thoracic surgery as a viable, precise alternative to conventional video-assisted methods, offering patients clearer visualization and greater surgical dexterity. His contributions are shaping the next generation of minimally invasive thoracic surgery.
