About
Dr. Haiyan Li is a pioneering breast surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques in breast cancer surgery. Her major contributions center on improving surgical precision and patient outcomes through innovative approaches to mastectomy and lymph node dissection. Notably, Dr. Li was the first to report the single-incision robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy (R-NSM) with immediate breast reconstruction, a technique that has since become a mainstream approach in robotic-assisted breast surgery. Her work demonstrates that this procedure is both safe and feasible, achieving excellent cosmetic results and high patient satisfaction. In a 2025 retrospective comparative study, she further established the efficacy and safety of robotic-assisted axillary lymph node dissection in node-positive breast cancer, showing superior surgical quality and short-term outcomes compared to endoscopic-assisted methods. With her most-cited papers already garnering 5 and 4 citations shortly after publication, Dr. Li’s research is rapidly shaping clinical practice. Her dedication to refining robotic techniques is paving the way for less invasive, more precise breast cancer surgeries, offering patients reduced morbidity and faster recovery.
