About

Lingling Zhu is a leading researcher in the field of minimally invasive surgical oncology, with a primary focus on improving outcomes for patients with gastric cancer. Her major contributions center on the comparative effectiveness of robotic versus laparoscopic surgical techniques. In her highly cited 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis, Zhu provided a critical, updated evaluation of perioperative and oncological outcomes for distal gastrectomy with lymph node dissection. By synthesizing the latest evidence, her work offers surgeons and patients a clearer, data-driven understanding of the safety and efficacy of robotic distal gastrectomy (RDG) compared to laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG). This research is pivotal for guiding clinical decision-making in a rapidly evolving surgical landscape. With her work already garnering significant attention and citations, Zhu is establishing herself as a key voice in the debate over the optimal approach to gastric cancer surgery, directly influencing best practices and future research directions in the field.
