About

Dr. Junhao Zheng is a pioneering hepatobiliary surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive liver and splenic surgery through comparative effectiveness studies and innovative techniques. His major contributions lie in rigorously evaluating robotic versus laparoscopic approaches for complex liver resections, particularly for challenging anatomical locations. His landmark 2023 study comparing robotic and laparoscopic major hepatectomies (59 citations) demonstrated that robotic techniques may overcome key limitations of laparoscopy, while his propensity-matched analysis of posterosuperior segment resections (54 citations) provided crucial evidence for robotic superiority in difficult-to-access areas. Dr. Zheng has also investigated the impact of liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension on surgical difficulty, and pioneered the use of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescent imaging for repeated laparoscopic liver resections in recurrent cancer patients. His work extends to robotic-assisted partial splenectomy for rare splenic epidermoid cysts and robotic caudate lobectomy, showcasing his technical expertise in high-risk procedures. With over 140 cumulative citations, Dr. Zheng’s research directly informs surgical decision-making, helping clinicians choose the optimal approach for individual patients while advancing the frontier of robotic hepatobiliary surgery.
