About
Qun Zhao is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping the surgical management of gastric cancer through the integration of advanced robotics, enhanced imaging, and precision medicine. His primary research areas include robotic and laparoscopic gastrectomy, lymph node mapping with carbon nanoparticle and indocyanine green tracers, and the application of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols. Zhao’s major contributions include demonstrating the safety and efficacy of carbon nanoparticle suspension injection (CNSI) for lymph node dissection in robotic distal gastrectomy—a technique that improves surgical precision and oncologic outcomes. He also led the first officially published case of a 5G-enabled robot-assisted remote radical distal gastrectomy, a landmark achievement in telesurgery. His work on sarcopenia and myosteatosis has revealed how preoperative muscle health predicts postoperative complications and long-term survival, adding a critical dimension to patient risk stratification. With multiple papers accumulating 35, 28, and 20 citations, Zhao’s research is highly influential in surgical oncology. His recent multicenter study on telesurgery across specialties underscores his role as a leader in the digital transformation of surgery, making him a key figure in the future of minimally invasive and remote surgical care.
