About
Dr. Yayan Fu is a pioneering surgeon-scientist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for colorectal and bariatric procedures, with a particular emphasis on robotic-assisted surgery. Dr. Fu’s major contributions lie in demonstrating the comparative efficacy and safety of robotic versus laparoscopic approaches, especially in complex patient populations. Their landmark systematic review and meta-analysis, which has garnered 13 citations, established that robotic sleeve gastrectomy offers significant advantages over laparoscopic methods. Dr. Fu has also made critical strides in geriatric and frail patient care, showing through propensity score-matched analyses that minimally invasive approaches yield superior short-term outcomes compared to open surgery. Notably, their work on sphincter-preserving robotic intersphincteric resection for ultra-low rectal cancer (4 citations) and the impact of sarcopenia on postoperative outcomes (5 citations) has reshaped clinical decision-making. By consistently demonstrating the benefits of robotic surgery—from low ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery to improved recovery in elderly patients—Dr. Fu’s research, with over 30 cumulative citations in 2024 alone, is driving the adoption of precision, patient-tailored surgical care.
