About
Dr. Liying Rong is a pioneering pediatric surgeon whose research focuses on advancing robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery for complex congenital conditions in children. Her major contributions center on demonstrating the feasibility, safety, and superior outcomes of robotic techniques compared to traditional laparoscopic and thoracoscopic approaches. Notably, her 2023 study comparing robotic-assisted proctosigmoidectomy to laparoscopic-assisted Soave pull-through for Hirschsprung disease has garnered 39 citations, establishing her as a leader in this niche. Dr. Rong has also conducted landmark work on robotic Kasai portoenterostomy for biliary atresia and cost-effectiveness analyses of robotic surgery for complex pediatric conditions, with her 2025 multicenter study on choledochal cysts receiving 13 citations. Her research extends to robotic repair of esophageal atresia and pancreatic surgery, showcasing her breadth of expertise. With over 100 cumulative citations across her most-cited papers, Dr. Rong’s work is instrumental in shaping evidence-based guidelines for pediatric robotic surgery, offering young surgeons a roadmap for integrating cutting-edge technology into clinical practice. Her dedication to improving surgical outcomes for the most vulnerable patients makes her a transformative figure in pediatric surgery.
