About
Qin Gan is a leading surgical researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques in pancreatic surgery, particularly through the comparative evaluation of robotic versus open pancreaticoduodenectomy. His major contributions center on demonstrating the safety, feasibility, and potential advantages of robotic approaches in complex hepatobiliary and pancreatic procedures. In his highly cited 2021 multicenter study (75 citations), Gan established that robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy can achieve comparable perioperative and oncological outcomes to open surgery in low-risk surgical candidates, providing crucial evidence for the adoption of robotic techniques. He further extended this work to vulnerable populations, showing in a 2022 multicenter retrospective cohort study (14 citations) that elderly patients also benefit from robotic approaches without increased complications. These studies have helped shape contemporary surgical decision-making by providing robust, multi-institutional data where previously only small, single-center reports existed. Gan’s research is particularly notable for its focus on patient selection and surgical safety, addressing key questions about which patients are most likely to benefit from minimally invasive pancreatic surgery. His work continues to influence the ongoing debate about the role of robotics in pancreatic surgery.
