Ming‐Yii Huang

About

Dr. Ming‐Yii Huang is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for colorectal cancer treatment, particularly through robotic-assisted surgery. His major contributions center on demonstrating the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of robotic total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer, especially in challenging cases such as low-lying tumors and patients who have undergone preoperative chemoradiotherapy. Notably, his work on the single-docking technique and high dissection with low ligation has helped refine surgical precision in the deep pelvic cavity, offering improved outcomes for patients. With over 90 citations across his most-cited papers, Dr. Huang’s studies provide crucial evidence that robotic surgery can be successfully adopted even by laparoscopic surgeons with limited experience, as shown in his 2015 paper (33 citations) detailing 40 consecutive cases. His 2017 study (28 citations) further validates these approaches, making him a key figure in translating robotic innovation into practical, reproducible surgical standards for colorectal cancer care.
