About

Dr. Peng Zhu is a pioneering hepatobiliary surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive liver surgery. His primary research focuses on the technical optimization, safety, and expanding applications of robotic and laparoscopic hepatectomy. Dr. Zhu’s most significant contribution is his leadership in establishing global standards for the field, evidenced by his role as a lead author on the "International experts consensus guidelines on robotic liver resection in 2023," a seminal work with 93 citations that provides a critical framework for surgical practice. He has also systematically defined the learning curve for robotic liver surgery (75 citations), providing essential benchmarks for surgical training. His innovative work extends to novel techniques, including the Laennec approach for anatomical resection and the groundbreaking exploration of remote robotic hepatectomy, where he conducted one of the first prospective studies using the MP1000 system in China. With a portfolio of high-impact studies comparing robotic versus laparoscopic outcomes for conditions like cavernous hemangioma, Dr. Zhu is a leading voice in advancing the precision and accessibility of robotic liver surgery worldwide.
