About

J Zhang is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of surgical innovation and digital health, with key contributions spanning extended reality (XR) technologies in surgery and robotic-assisted urological oncology. Their most impactful work includes a comprehensive scoping review on the impact of extended reality on surgery (2022, 6 citations), which systematically mapped the current utilization and future prospects of augmented and virtual reality in surgical practice—a foundational resource for the field. In urological surgery, Zhang conducted a large single-institution comparison of perioperative outcomes among open radical cystectomy, intracorporeal robotic-assisted radical cystectomy, and robotic cystectomy with extracorporeal urinary diversion (2019, 3 citations), providing critical evidence on surgical approaches for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. This work also examined the impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy delays on patient survival, addressing a vital clinical question. Zhang’s research is distinguished by its translational focus, bridging cutting-edge digital technologies with tangible improvements in surgical care. Their work has been cited in leading surgical and urology journals, reflecting its influence on both clinical practice and future research directions.
