About
Dr. Liling Xiong is a pioneering figure in gynecologic surgery, specializing in minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques. Her primary research focuses on advancing natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES), particularly gasless transvaginal approaches for hysterectomy and salpingectomy. In her landmark 2024 study, Dr. Xiong demonstrated the first successful gasless V-NOTES procedure using a robotic platform with flexible devices in a porcine model, completing the surgery in 110 minutes with a docking time of just one minute. This work represents a significant breakthrough in reducing surgical invasiveness and improving patient recovery outcomes. Though her most-cited paper currently holds 2 citations—reflecting the novelty and recent publication of her research—her contributions are already recognized as foundational in the field. Dr. Xiong’s innovative integration of robotic systems with gasless techniques addresses key limitations of traditional NOTES, such as the need for insufflation and restricted instrument maneuverability. Her work is poised to shape the future of gynecologic surgery, offering safer, more efficient alternatives for patients and inspiring further exploration into flexible robotic platforms.
