About

Jianwei Li is a leading hepatobiliary surgeon whose work centers on refining minimally invasive liver resection techniques. His primary research focus is the application of the Laennec approach—a method leveraging the anatomical landmark of Laennec’s capsule—to improve the safety and precision of laparoscopic and robotic hepatectomy. Li’s major contribution is demonstrating, through a landmark multicenter cohort study (2025, 8 citations), that this approach yields superior perioperative outcomes compared to conventional methods, effectively reducing blood loss and complications. By providing robust, large-scale prospective evidence, his research has helped standardize a technique that was previously limited by a lack of clinical validation. This work has positioned him as a key figure in advancing the field of anatomical liver surgery, bridging the gap between surgical anatomy and modern robotic platforms. His findings are already influencing surgical protocols and training, offering a reproducible roadmap for surgeons seeking to adopt the Laennec approach. Li’s dedication to evidence-based innovation continues to shape the future of minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery.
