About

Dr. Haizong Fang is a pioneering robotic pancreatic surgeon whose work has redefined minimally invasive approaches to complex pancreatic and duodenal surgery. His primary research focuses on advanced robotic techniques for pancreatic resections, particularly spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (RSPDP) and pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD). Dr. Fang’s landmark study on the “Kimura-first” strategy for RSPDP, with 19 citations, established a standardized, safer method for splenic preservation in 61 consecutive cases, significantly reducing operative time and blood loss. He has also championed parenchymal-sparing pancreatectomy and pancreas-sparing duodenectomy as alternatives to radical pancreaticoduodenectomy for benign and low-grade malignant tumors, demonstrating that robotic approaches can preserve organ function without compromising oncologic outcomes. His innovative combination of superior mesenteric vein-first and artery-first approaches for uncinate process dissection in minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy has improved R0 resection rates and reduced intraoperative bleeding. With over 38 total citations across his most-cited works, Dr. Fang’s contributions are shaping the future of robotic hepatobiliary surgery, offering patients safer, less invasive options for traditionally high-morbidity procedures.
