About

Dr. Fangqiang Wei is a pioneering hepatobiliary surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex biliary tract diseases, particularly hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HC) and biliary reconstruction. His major contributions lie in systematically evaluating and optimizing laparoscopic and robotic approaches for radical resection of HC, demonstrating their safety and feasibility through rigorous systematic reviews and propensity score-matched analyses. Notably, his 2020 systematic review on laparoscopic and robotic surgery for HC has garnered 31 citations, establishing a foundational evidence base for these challenging procedures. Dr. Wei has also innovated in surgical education, designing three-dimensional printed dry lab models to simulate robotic-assisted pancreaticojejunostomy (17 citations) and creating reusable modular models for bilioenteric anastomosis training. His work on biliary-enteric reconstruction in robotic HC resection (2024) addresses a critical technical hurdle, while his exploration of single-incision cholecystectomy further expands the frontier of scarless surgery. With a growing citation impact and a focus on translating simulation training into clinical excellence, Dr. Wei is shaping the future of robotic hepatobiliary surgery.
