About

Donghao Lu is a prominent researcher specializing in minimally invasive gynaecological surgery, with a particular focus on the safety, effectiveness, and clinical outcomes of robot-assisted surgical techniques. Over more than a decade, Lu has made sustained contributions to evidence-based medicine through rigorous Cochrane systematic reviews, establishing himself as a leading authority on robotic surgery for both benign gynaecological conditions and gynaecological cancers, including endometrial, cervical, and ovarian cancer. Lu's most impactful work includes a landmark 2014 Cochrane review on robot-assisted surgery in gynaecology, which has accumulated 134 citations, and its 2019 updated iteration, cited 130 times — together representing some of the most comprehensive and widely referenced syntheses in the field. His 2012 review on robotic surgery for benign gynaecological disease has earned 113 citations, further cementing his influence. Collectively, his body of work has shaped clinical guidelines and informed surgical decision-making worldwide. By methodically evaluating the evolving evidence base from early protocols through to merged, comprehensive reviews, Lu has helped clinicians better understand the risks and benefits of adopting robotic platforms in gynaecological practice, making his research indispensable to surgeons, policymakers, and students alike.
