About

Dr. Ching-Lung Hsieh is a pioneering surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive pancreatic surgery, particularly through the development and refinement of reduced-port robotic techniques. His major contributions center on demonstrating the feasibility and safety of performing complex pancreaticoduodenectomies—historically among the most challenging abdominal surgeries—using fewer and smaller incisions. In his landmark 2022 study, Dr. Hsieh directly compared reduced-port robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPRPD) with the traditional open approach, showing that the robotic method could achieve comparable outcomes while significantly reducing surgical trauma. This work has garnered 11 citations, establishing a foundation for further innovation. He has since introduced an optimized "single-site plus-two ports" method, detailed in his 2024 paper, which improves surgical field deployment and has already attracted early citations. Additionally, his 2023 work on spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy demonstrates a progression from multi-port to reduced-port approaches, emphasizing cosmetic benefits without compromising safety. Dr. Hsieh’s research is instrumental in pushing the boundaries of what is possible in robotic surgery, offering patients less invasive options for complex pancreatic procedures.
