About
Fengchun Lu is a pioneering surgeon-scientist advancing the frontiers of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery, with a primary focus on robotic and laparoscopic approaches for complex hepatopancreatobiliary procedures. His major contributions center on refining surgical techniques for pancreaticoduodenectomy and distal pancreatectomy, particularly through the development of the "Kimura-first" strategy for robotic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy, which has demonstrated feasibility in 61 consecutive cases. Dr. Lu has also championed parenchymal-sparing strategies, including robotic parenchymal-sparing pancreatectomy and pancreas-sparing duodenectomy, offering alternatives to radical resection for benign and low-grade malignant tumors. His work on the PORTAL trial—a multicenter phase III non-inferiority randomized controlled trial comparing robotic versus open pancreaticoduodenectomy—has garnered 44 citations, underscoring its significance in shaping evidence-based surgical practice. Additionally, he has pioneered the combination of anterior superior mesenteric vein-first and right posterior superior mesenteric artery-first approaches for uncinate process dissection in minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy. With a growing body of work spanning over 80 citations, Dr. Lu’s research directly impacts perioperative outcomes, tumor resection rates, and patient recovery, establishing him as a key figure in the evolution of robotic pancreatic surgery.
