About

Dr. Jane Wang is a pioneering surgeon-scientist advancing the field of minimally invasive hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgery. Her research focuses on defining and predicting "textbook outcomes"—the ideal, complication-free surgical result—to set new quality benchmarks and improve clinical decision-making. Dr. Wang’s landmark study on minimally invasive left lateral sectionectomy established key benchmarks across North America (9 citations), while her work on distal pancreatectomy examines the evolving shift toward minimally invasive approaches as a potential new standard of care (6 citations). She is also a leading voice on equity in surgical innovation, addressing barriers to adoption and access in HPB surgery (7 citations). Demonstrating her versatility, Dr. Wang developed a novel machine learning model to predict textbook outcomes in colectomy (7 citations) and pioneered a robotic-assisted endoluminal technique for resecting gastroesophageal junction tumors with transoral specimen extraction (4 citations). Her innovative work on robotic endoluminal gastric leiomyoma resection (2 citations) showcases her commitment to pushing the boundaries of surgical technique. With a growing body of impactful, high-citation work, Dr. Wang is shaping the future of minimally invasive surgery through rigorous outcomes research, technological innovation, and a commitment to equitable surgical care.
