About

Yu Gui is a pioneering breast surgeon whose work centers on minimally invasive oncoplastic and reconstructive techniques for breast cancer patients. Her major contributions lie in advancing laparoscopic and robotic-assisted approaches that reduce surgical trauma while preserving aesthetic outcomes. In her landmark 2016 study, Gui introduced a novel technique for laparoscopic harvesting of the latissimus dorsi flap combined with prosthesis implantation for breast reconstruction, achieving 21 citations by eliminating the long posterior donor-site scar—a significant drawback of traditional methods. More recently, her 2022 retrospective study (19 citations) demonstrated the safety and feasibility of minimally invasive nipple-sparing mastectomy using laparoscopic or robotic assistance, coupled with immediate prosthesis reconstruction. This work has been instrumental in expanding options for patients seeking breast conservation without compromising oncologic safety. Gui’s research directly addresses the dual goals of cancer control and quality of life, earning her recognition as a leader in the field of minimally invasive breast surgery. Her innovative techniques continue to influence surgical practice, offering patients reduced scarring, faster recovery, and improved cosmetic results.
