About
Dr. Hongliang Yao is a pioneering surgeon at the forefront of minimally invasive gastrointestinal oncology, with a specialized focus on robotic surgery for gastric and colorectal cancers. His major contributions lie in systematically demonstrating the safety, feasibility, and oncological efficacy of robotic gastrectomy and robotic natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES). Dr. Yao’s landmark 2024 study, comparing short-term and three-year outcomes between robotic and laparoscopic gastrectomy in nearly 3,600 patients (23 citations), provides critical evidence for the clinical advantages of the robotic approach. He has also led the largest nationwide retrospective study on robotic colorectal cancer surgery in China (22 citations) and has been instrumental in advancing robotic NOSES, proving its viability even during the initial learning curve and in complex anatomical anomalies like situs inversus totalis. His work on bionic concepts for defecatory assessment (2025) signals an innovative expansion into functional recovery. With a cumulative impact spanning over 100 citations, Dr. Yao is a leading voice in establishing robotic techniques as the new standard for oncologic gastrointestinal surgery.
