About
Dr. Dehong Cao is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher specializing in minimally invasive renal surgery, with a particular focus on optimizing robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for kidney tumors. His major contributions center on refining surgical techniques to improve patient outcomes, systematically comparing retroperitoneal versus transperitoneal approaches and off-clamp versus on-clamp strategies. In a highly cited 2021 meta-analysis (25 citations), Dr. Cao demonstrated that the retroperitoneal approach offers superior perioperative outcomes, including shorter operative times and reduced hospital stays. His subsequent evidence-based analysis (19 citations) provided the largest pooled comparison to date, revealing that off-clamp RAPN better preserves renal function without compromising oncological control. These findings have directly influenced clinical decision-making, helping surgeons tailor approaches to individual patients. Dr. Cao’s work is distinguished by its rigorous methodology and practical impact, bridging the gap between surgical innovation and real-world application. His research continues to shape best practices in nephron-sparing surgery, making him a respected voice in urologic oncology.
