About

Dr. Gengyan Xiong is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly through the evaluation and application of novel robotic platforms. His most impactful work centers on the clinical validation of the KangDuo-Surgical Robot-01 (KD-SR-01), a new domestic robotic system. In a landmark prospective, single-arm clinical study (39 citations), Dr. Xiong demonstrated the safety and efficacy of this system for robot-assisted pyeloplasty. He further solidified its potential through a prospective randomized controlled trial in porcine models (33 citations), comparing KD-SR-01 robotic partial nephrectomy to 3D-laparoscopic surgery, with a specific focus on operative feasibility and ergonomic advantages. Beyond platform validation, Dr. Xiong has made significant contributions to complex reconstructive urology, including a comparative analysis of robot-assisted versus conventional laparoscopic ileal ureter replacement (19 citations), showing superior perioperative outcomes for the robotic approach. He has also reported on highly individualized, modified robotic techniques for managing rare conditions like tuberculous-contracted bladder with duplicated collecting systems. Through these pioneering studies, Dr. Xiong is actively shaping the future of robotic urologic surgery, providing crucial evidence for the adoption of new technologies and the refinement of complex reconstructive procedures.
