About
Dr. Anna Fen–Yau Li is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive surgical techniques for gastric cancer treatment. Her research primarily focuses on comparing the efficacy and outcomes of robotic, laparoscopic, and traditional open gastrectomy, with a particular emphasis on optimizing surgical approaches for diverse patient populations. Dr. Li’s seminal work, including her highly cited 2012 study on initial robotic gastrectomy experiences (133 citations), established foundational evidence for the safety and feasibility of robotic surgery. She further advanced the field by rigorously analyzing learning curves for laparoscopic versus robotic gastrectomy (102 citations), providing critical benchmarks for surgical training. Demonstrating a commitment to geriatric oncology, Dr. Li has also investigated the benefits of minimally invasive surgery for octogenarian and older gastric cancer patients (21 citations), showing that these techniques can be safely applied to vulnerable populations. Her cumulative work has significantly shaped modern surgical practice, offering data-driven insights that help surgeons select the best operative method to improve patient recovery and outcomes.
