About
Chenghong Peng is a pioneering surgical oncologist and pancreatic surgeon based at Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, whose work has fundamentally shaped the adoption of robotic and minimally invasive techniques in complex abdominal surgery. His research focuses primarily on robot-assisted pancreatic and hepatobiliary surgery, with particular emphasis on pancreaticoduodenectomy, distal pancreatectomy, and liver resection. Peng's most celebrated contributions include landmark comparative studies demonstrating the safety, feasibility, and clinical advantages of robotic approaches over traditional open surgery — work that has collectively amassed nearly 900 citations across his top publications alone. His 2019 analysis of 450 robot-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy cases at a high-volume center provided the field with one of its most comprehensive learning curve analyses, offering an invaluable roadmap for surgeons adopting this technically demanding procedure. Peng has also advanced spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy and robotic enucleation for pancreatic tumors, consistently demonstrating improved patient outcomes and shorter hospital stays. Through rigorous prospective trials, matched cohort studies, and meta-analyses, he has established an evidence base that continues to guide surgical practice internationally, cementing his reputation as a global leader in minimally invasive pancreatic surgery.
