About
Dr. Gufeng Xu is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly for complex endometriosis and pelvic pathology. Her major contributions center on the development and validation of robot-assisted vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (RvNOTES), a groundbreaking approach that eliminates abdominal incisions while enabling the management of severe disease. In her landmark 2024 pilot feasibility study, Dr. Xu demonstrated the safety and efficacy of RvNOTES total hysterectomy for Stage IV endometriosis, including cases with complete cul-de-sac obliteration—a condition traditionally requiring open or multi-port laparoscopic surgery. This work, which has already garnered 14 citations, represents a paradigm shift in surgical access and recovery for patients with advanced endometriosis. Dr. Xu’s innovations not only reduce postoperative pain and scarring but also expand the boundaries of what can be achieved through natural orifice surgery. Her research is highly influential among gynecologic surgeons and minimally invasive specialists, positioning her as a leader in the next generation of scarless, robot-assisted procedures.
