About
Lihan Qian is a surgical researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive pancreatic surgery, particularly through robotic-assisted techniques. His major contributions center on evaluating the safety and efficacy of robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD) and distal pancreatectomy in challenging patient populations. In his most-cited study (2023, 10 citations), Qian demonstrated that RPD is feasible and beneficial for patients with high body mass index, a group traditionally considered high-risk for minimally invasive approaches. This propensity score-matched analysis provided crucial evidence supporting broader adoption of robotic surgery in obese patients. His 2022 work (4 citations) investigated how transection planes influence postoperative pancreatic fistula rates after robot-assisted distal pancreatectomy for nonmalignant tumors, offering technical insights that can reduce this serious complication. Qian’s research directly addresses critical gaps in pancreatic surgery, combining rigorous methodology with clinical relevance. His findings help surgeons optimize patient selection and surgical technique, ultimately improving outcomes for complex pancreatic procedures.
