About
Cheyenne Wei‐Hsuan Sung is a pioneering surgeon and researcher at the forefront of robotic-assisted microsurgery, with a specialized focus on peripheral nerve surgery and sympathetic trunk reconstruction. Her work addresses the devastating long-term complications of thoracic sympathectomy—particularly compensatory hyperhidrosis and gustatory sweating—by developing innovative reversal techniques using robot-assisted microsurgery. Sung’s landmark systematic review (2021, 31 citations) established the evidence base for robotic applications in peripheral nerve surgery, while her case report on sympathetic trunk reconstruction with sural nerve graft and intercostal nerve coaptation (2021, 18 citations) demonstrated a novel, minimally invasive approach to restoring quality of life for patients suffering from post-sympathectomy complications. Her 2023 case series (14 citations) provided critical two-year outcome data, confirming the durability of robotic sympathetic trunk reconstruction. Most recently, her comprehensive historical review (2025) traces the 40-year evolution of this field from open surgery to robotic-assisted microsurgery, cementing her role as a leading voice in this niche. With a growing citation impact and a clear translational focus, Sung’s work bridges cutting-edge robotics with compassionate, patient-centered surgical solutions.
