About

Dr. Liyang Ying is a pioneering pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for congenital heart defects. His primary research focus is the application of robot-assisted endoscopic surgery in children, particularly for conditions like patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Dr. Ying’s major contribution lies in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic systems in pediatric populations, where small anatomical structures pose unique challenges. His landmark study, “Application of robot-assisted endoscopic technique in the treatment of patent ductus arteriosus in 106 children” (2023), retrospectively analyzed clinical data from over 100 pediatric cases, establishing a reproducible protocol that reduces surgical trauma and recovery time. This work, cited 7 times, has become a reference point for surgeons exploring robotic approaches in pediatric cardiac care. By systematically evaluating outcomes in a large cohort, Dr. Ying has helped bridge the gap between adult robotic surgery and its delicate application in children. His achievements underscore a commitment to innovation in pediatric surgery, offering young patients safer, less invasive alternatives to traditional open-heart procedures.
