About

Chen-Ping Hsieh is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive lung cancer surgery through cutting-edge imaging and navigation technologies. His major contributions lie in integrating intraoperative imaging systems—such as robotic C-arm CT and indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence—to improve the precision and safety of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and robotic segmentectomy. In his highly cited 2017 study (16 citations), Hsieh demonstrated how a hybrid operating room equipped with robotic C-arm CT enables real-time, imaging-guided resection of ground-glass opacity lesions, overcoming the challenge of identifying small pulmonary nodules without risky preoperative localization. His 2016 work on ICG fluorescence-navigated robotic segmentectomy (12 citations) further showcases his innovation in using near-infrared imaging to delineate tumor margins and perfusion in real time, reducing complications and enhancing oncologic outcomes. Hsieh’s research has directly impacted surgical practice by offering safer, more effective alternatives for early-stage lung cancer treatment, earning him recognition as a leader in image-guided thoracic surgery. His work continues to inspire surgeons and researchers seeking to merge robotics, imaging, and fluorescence technology for precision oncology.
