About
Qiannan Yang is an emerging leader in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, with a research focus centered on natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) and robotic-assisted surgical techniques. Her work has rapidly gained recognition for advancing the frontiers of scarless gynecologic procedures, particularly vaginal NOTES (vNOTES) and its integration with robotic platforms including the da Vinci Single-Port system. Yang's most impactful contribution to date is her pioneering investigation of Robotic Single-Port transvaginal NOTES (RSP-vNOTES) hysterectomy, documented across multiple study designs ranging from case series to comparative and propensity score-matched analyses, accumulating over 60 citations collectively in a remarkably short period. Her 298-case series on robot-assisted vNOTES stands as one of the largest reported cohorts in this emerging field. Beyond hysterectomy, she has extended this surgical approach to complex cases involving advanced endometriosis, obesity, enlarged uteri, and cesarean scar endometriosis, consistently demonstrating safety and feasibility. Her work on fluorescence-guided ureteral identification and the "4-P" port anchoring technique reflects a commitment to both surgical innovation and patient safety. Yang's contributions are shaping how gynecologic surgeons worldwide adopt and refine next-generation minimally invasive approaches.
