About

Dr. Jiye Zhu is a pioneering hepatobiliary surgeon whose work has fundamentally shaped the global adoption of robotic liver surgery. His primary research focus lies in the standardization and clinical advancement of robotic hepatectomy, a field in which he has established the definitive international guidelines. Dr. Zhu’s major contribution is authoring the landmark "International consensus statement on robotic hepatectomy surgery in 2018," which garnered 214 citations by systematically evaluating the safety, feasibility, and cost-effectiveness of this emerging technology. Building on this foundation, he led the "International experts consensus guidelines on robotic liver resection in 2023" (93 citations), updating best practices as the field matured. These consensus documents have resolved critical controversies and provided a structured framework for surgeons worldwide, directly accelerating the clinical integration of robotic systems. While his work on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) explores early diagnosis and therapy, his primary impact is as a global authority on robotic liver surgery, having shaped the very standards that guide modern practice. Dr. Zhu’s contributions are essential reading for any surgeon or researcher entering the field of minimally invasive hepatic surgery.
