About
Fangfang Zheng is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly through robotic-assisted natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES). Her most cited work, the NOTR trial protocol (2021, 8 citations), establishes a rigorous randomized controlled framework to compare robotic NOSES with traditional robotic-assisted surgery for colorectal cancer patients. This study addresses a critical gap in surgical oncology by evaluating whether eliminating abdominal incisions—a hallmark of NOSES—can reduce postoperative pain, shorten recovery, and improve cosmetic outcomes without compromising oncologic safety. Zheng’s contributions are notable for bridging innovation with evidence-based practice; her protocol not only standardizes robotic NOSES but also provides a blueprint for future trials in minimally invasive colorectal surgery. By focusing on patient-centered endpoints, she has helped propel NOSES from a niche technique toward broader clinical adoption. Her work underscores the potential of robotic platforms to refine surgical precision while minimizing trauma, positioning her as a key figure in the evolution of scarless colorectal surgery. With growing citations and clinical relevance, Zheng continues to shape the landscape of modern surgical oncology.
