About
Po-Li Wei is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for rectal cancer, particularly through robotic-assisted surgery. His major contributions center on comparing robotic and laparoscopic approaches for mesorectal excision, demonstrating that robotic surgery can reduce conversion rates to open laparotomy while maintaining oncological safety. His 2017 study on robotic versus laparoscopic surgery for mid and low rectal cancer, with 62 citations, established key insights into the learning curve and outcomes after neoadjuvant chemoradiation. Wei's 2019 meta-analysis, cited 61 times, provided critical evidence on the clinical benefits of robotic-assisted mesorectal excision, helping to resolve ongoing controversies. He has also explored innovative reduced-port robotic techniques for left-sided colorectal cancer and investigated gender differences in robotic suturing skill acquisition, highlighting his commitment to both technical refinement and surgical education. With over 240 total citations across his most-cited works, Wei's real-world evidence from high-volume Taiwanese institutions underscores his impact on perioperative safety and short-term oncological outcomes, making him a pivotal figure in the evolution of robotic colorectal surgery.
