About

Dr. Longhe Sun is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for rectal and colon cancer treatment. His major contributions center on comparing robotic and laparoscopic surgical approaches, particularly for challenging patient populations. In a landmark 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis (13 citations), Dr. Sun demonstrated the superior efficacy of robotic versus laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. He has further shown that robotic surgery offers significant advantages for mid and low rectal cancer patients with visceral obesity, as evidenced by his propensity-matched analysis (7 citations). Notably, his work on left colic artery preservation during robotic rectal resection (5 citations) addresses a longstanding controversy in the field. Dr. Sun’s research on sphincter-preserving intersphincteric resection for ultra-low rectal cancer (4 citations) has expanded surgical options for patients who might otherwise require permanent colostomies. His studies consistently highlight improved short-term outcomes, particularly in elderly and frail patients (4 citations). With multiple high-impact publications in 2024 alone, Dr. Sun is establishing himself as a leading voice in robotic colorectal surgery, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in minimally invasive oncology.
