About
Dr. Qiming Zheng is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for prostate cancer treatment, particularly through robotic-assisted surgery. His major contributions center on the development and refinement of single-port robot-assisted perineal radical prostatectomy (sp-pRARP), a novel approach that reduces surgical trauma and improves patient recovery. His landmark 2023 study, cited 13 times, provided the first comprehensive analysis of the learning curve for sp-pRARP using the da Vinci XI system, employing the cumulative sum (CUSUM) method to establish benchmarks for surgical proficiency. This work demonstrated that surgeons can achieve competency after approximately 20 cases, offering a roadmap for adopting this complex procedure. Dr. Zheng’s research has significantly impacted the field by validating the feasibility and safety of single-port perineal access, potentially expanding surgical options for prostate cancer patients. His findings on early functional and oncological outcomes have been instrumental in guiding clinical practice, and his systematic approach to evaluating surgical learning curves has set a standard for training in robotic urology.
