About
Dr. Puhua Zhang is a pioneering gastrointestinal surgeon at the forefront of robotic surgery and artificial intelligence in medicine. His research centers on two transformative areas: advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques using the Da Vinci robotic system, and the application of generative AI to create high-fidelity surgical video data. Dr. Zhang’s major contributions include performing the inaugural total laparoscopy-assisted total gastrectomy with the Da Vinci robotic system at Renji Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University, a landmark procedure conducted under the RENJI-GISH framework. This work, detailed in his 2025 study, demonstrates the clinical feasibility of robotic-enhanced neurocomputing in complex gastric surgeries. Additionally, he is advancing surgical education and AI training through the development of HiEndo, a two-stage framework that generates realistic, high-resolution gastrointestinal laparoscopy videos. While his most-cited papers are early-stage works with 1 citation each, they represent foundational steps in integrating robotics and generative AI into surgery. Dr. Zhang’s research promises to reshape surgical training, preoperative planning, and intraoperative guidance, positioning him as an emerging leader in the convergence of robotic surgery and computational intelligence.
