About

Dr. Haoxun Zhang is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive kidney and prostate surgery. His work centers on advancing robotic-assisted techniques to reduce patient trauma and accelerate recovery. Dr. Zhang’s most impactful contributions include the development of the modified Hood technique for single-port robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (sp-RARP), a novel approach that significantly improves early continence recovery—a critical quality-of-life outcome for prostate cancer patients. In renal surgery, he has become a leading authority on off-clamp robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (Offc-RAPN), demonstrating that this technically demanding, ischemia-free procedure can be mastered with a defined learning curve, thereby sparing patients from the risks of renal clamping. Dr. Zhang has also published key case series on the robotic management of rare conditions like Wünderlich syndrome and has shown the safety and efficacy of off-clamp nephron-sparing surgery for large renal angiomyolipomas. With his most-cited papers accumulating over a dozen citations in just two years, Dr. Zhang’s work is rapidly gaining recognition for its direct clinical impact, offering patients safer, more effective surgical options and providing a roadmap for surgeons adopting these advanced techniques.
