About

Yulong Tian is a surgical oncologist whose research has firmly established him as a leading authority on minimally invasive approaches to gastric cancer treatment, with a particular focus on comparing robotic and laparoscopic gastrectomy. His work spans both technical surgical performance and patient outcomes, bridging intraoperative precision with long-term oncological results. Tian's most influential contribution is a landmark multicenter retrospective cohort study comparing robotic gastrectomy (RG) with laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) for gastric cancer, which has garnered 94 citations since its 2021 publication — a testament to its significance in shaping surgical practice worldwide. Alongside a propensity score matching analysis published the same year (43 citations), this body of work provided some of the most rigorous evidence available on the comparative merits of these surgical modalities. His research extends to nuanced clinical scenarios, including outcomes in obese patients, total gastrectomy procedures, neoadjuvant chemotherapy contexts, and preoperative vascular imaging-guided decision-making. Notably, his 2024 work identifying and categorizing technical errors and hazard zones during robotic total gastrectomy demonstrates a commitment to surgical safety and education. With over 200 cumulative citations, Tian's contributions are actively informing the global evolution of minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery.
