About
Dr. Kristina Duan is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS), for the treatment of complex gynecologic conditions. Her major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic single-site approaches for endometriosis and myomectomy, with a focus on improving patient outcomes and expanding surgical options. Notably, her work on adolescent endometriosis introduced the novel "butterfly resection" technique for severe cases, offering a tailored surgical solution for this vulnerable population. Dr. Duan has also explored innovative applications such as robotic-assisted transvaginal NOTES hysterectomy and multidisciplinary approaches using indocyanine green fluorescence to treat ovarian remnant syndrome. Her most-cited paper, "Application of robotic single-site surgery with optional additional port for endometriosis" (18 citations), underscores her influence in refining robotic surgical protocols. With a cumulative citation count of 35 across her key publications, Dr. Duan's research continues to shape the landscape of gynecologic surgery, providing evidence for less invasive, more precise interventions that reduce recovery time and improve quality of life for patients.
