About
Dr. Ming‐Ju Hsieh is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for esophageal and lung cancers, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted and uniportal approaches. His major contributions include demonstrating the superiority of robot-assisted thoracoscopic esophagectomy over video-assisted methods for lymph node dissection along the recurrent laryngeal nerve, a technically demanding procedure with high morbidity—a study that has garnered over 105 citations. Dr. Hsieh has also been instrumental in developing image-guided techniques for localizing and resecting small pulmonary nodules, utilizing hybrid operating rooms and mobile 3D C-arm systems to improve precision and safety. His innovative work on indocyanine green fluorescence-navigated robotic segmentectomy and uniportal robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (uRATS) has set new standards for lung anatomic resections, with recent studies evaluating the learning curve and safety of transitioning from uniportal video-assisted to robotic surgery. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 160, Dr. Hsieh’s research directly impacts surgical practice, reducing morbidity and enhancing outcomes for patients with thoracic malignancies.
