About

Dr. Fanghai Han is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the application of robotic surgery in China, particularly for the treatment of colorectal cancer. His primary research focuses on the refinement of minimally invasive techniques and the preservation of autonomic nerve function during complex oncologic resections. Dr. Han’s landmark study, "Robotic colorectal cancer surgery in China: a nationwide retrospective observational study" (2020, 22 citations), provided the first comprehensive, large-scale analysis of robotic colorectal procedures across the country, establishing critical benchmarks for safety, efficacy, and adoption. Building on this foundation, his most recent work, "da Vinci robotic-assisted micro-space dissection and autonomic nerve network preservation technique in the total mesorectal excision procedure for rectal cancer" (2025), introduces a novel, highly precise surgical approach that aims to reduce postoperative urinary and sexual dysfunction—a major quality-of-life concern for patients. This innovative technique, detailed in a single-center real-world study, underscores his commitment to pushing the boundaries of surgical precision. Through these contributions, Dr. Han is shaping the future of colorectal surgery, offering patients improved oncologic outcomes with better functional preservation.
