About

Dr. Jinhong Pan is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery and advanced medical robotics. His primary research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) and concomitant renal calculi. In a landmark 2013 study, Dr. Pan demonstrated the feasibility of combining robotic laparoscopic surgery with rigid nephroscopy to simultaneously treat UPJO and kidney stones, a procedure that has garnered 29 citations and influenced clinical practice. He further advanced the field with a head-to-head comparison of modified laparoscopic pyeloplasty versus robot-assisted pyeloplasty, a 2018 study with 19 citations that provided critical evidence on the relative merits of these techniques in Chinese patient populations. Demonstrating remarkable interdisciplinary innovation, Dr. Pan’s most recent work (2024) introduces a novel angle sensor for minimally invasive surgical robots, leveraging surface plasmon resonance with Kretschmann prisms to enhance precision. This forward-looking research, already attracting attention, underscores his commitment to pushing the boundaries of surgical technology. Dr. Pan’s career exemplifies a rare blend of clinical excellence and engineering ingenuity, making him a vital contributor to the future of robotic urology.
