About

Dr. Dehai Xiong is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive cancer surgery. His primary focus lies in comparing and advancing robotic and laparoscopic techniques for colorectal procedures, with a particular emphasis on complete mesocolic excision (CME) for right-sided colon cancer and innovative approaches for rectal cancer. Dr. Xiong’s most impactful work, a 2023 multicenter study with 16 citations, rigorously compared robotic versus laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with CME using propensity score matching, providing critical evidence on surgical outcomes. He has further pushed the boundaries of the field by investigating robotic natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) for early-stage rectal cancer, a technique that reduces trauma and accelerates recovery. His forward-looking 2025 review on the advantages and prospects of robotic surgery for colorectal cancer has already garnered 6 citations, underscoring his role as a key voice in the field. Beyond his core research, Dr. Xiong has also contributed a rare clinical case report on an unusual rectal foreign body, demonstrating his breadth as a clinician-scientist. Through his multicenter collaborations and focus on precision, Dr. Xiong is helping to define the future standard of care in colorectal surgery.
