About

Fan Qi is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for colorectal cancer, with a particular emphasis on robotic-assisted procedures. Her major contributions center on comparing the efficacy and safety of robotic versus laparoscopic surgery, especially in complex operations like right hemicolectomy with complete mesocolic excision (CME). In her landmark 2023 multicenter study, which has garnered 16 citations, she demonstrated through propensity score matching that robotic surgery offers significant advantages over laparoscopic approaches in achieving superior oncological outcomes for right-sided colon cancer. Her forward-looking 2025 review, with 6 citations, provides a comprehensive analysis of the da Vinci surgical system’s precision and stability in colorectal cancer surgeries, highlighting its technical advantages and future potential. Fan’s work is instrumental in establishing evidence-based guidelines for robotic colorectal surgery, helping to reduce recurrence rates and improve patient recovery. Her research not only validates the clinical benefits of robotic assistance but also paves the way for broader adoption of these technologies, making her a pivotal figure in the evolution of surgical oncology.
