About
Dr. Gaixia Liu is a pioneering surgeon specializing in minimally invasive gastrointestinal oncology, with a primary focus on advancing surgical techniques for gastric submucosal tumours (GSMTs). Her major contribution lies in the development and clinical validation of Third Space Robotic and Endoscopic Cooperative Surgery (TS-RECS), a novel hybrid approach that integrates robotic precision with endoscopic flexibility. In her landmark 2021 propensity score-matched study, Dr. Liu demonstrated that TS-RECS achieves superior oncological curability while maximizing functional preservation of the stomach, compared to traditional laparoscopic wedge resection. This work, cited in key surgical journals, establishes a new paradigm for treating GSMTs—balancing complete tumor resection with organ-sparing benefits. Her research directly addresses the critical challenge of maintaining postoperative quality of life without compromising cancer outcomes. By pioneering this technique, Dr. Liu has positioned herself at the forefront of third-space surgery, offering patients a less invasive yet highly effective alternative. Her ongoing work continues to refine these approaches, with potential applications extending to other gastrointestinal malignancies, making her a leading voice in the evolution of minimally invasive oncologic surgery.
