About
Dr. Lei Dong is a surgical researcher whose work focuses on improving outcomes in minimally invasive abdominal surgery. His primary research areas include hepatopancreatobiliary surgery, specifically examining the predictors and consequences of unplanned conversion from minimally invasive to open procedures. In his highly cited 2017 study, published in the *Journal of the American College of Surgeons*, Dr. Dong analyzed the ACS-NSQIP database to identify risk factors for unplanned conversion during minimally invasive hepatectomy, a work that has garnered 45 citations and helped guide preoperative risk stratification. He extended this line of inquiry in a 2018 study on unplanned conversion during minimally invasive pancreatectomy, which has accumulated 39 citations, further establishing his expertise in surgical safety and quality improvement. Notably, Dr. Dong also contributed to the field of robotics with a 2009 paper on developing a super-master-like chess-playing robot, exploring how to equip machines with human-like perception and decision-making. This diverse portfolio—from clinical outcomes research to robotics—demonstrates his broad interest in advancing both surgical practice and intelligent systems.
