About

Dr. Rui-zi Gao is a leading surgical oncologist whose research has fundamentally advanced the field of minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery. Her work centers on comparing the efficacy and safety of robotic gastrectomy (RG) versus laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG), establishing the evidence base for robotic approaches in treating gastric cancer. Her landmark 2021 multicenter retrospective cohort study (94 citations) provided critical large-scale data demonstrating that RG offers comparable short- and long-term outcomes to LG, helping to validate the increasing global adoption of robotic techniques. Dr. Gao has also made pioneering contributions to understanding surgical proficiency, as evidenced by her influential study on the learning curve for robotic distal and total gastrectomy (62 citations), which provides essential benchmarks for training surgeons. Her most recent 2024 multicenter cohort study (14 citations) further solidifies these findings by examining long-term oncological outcomes, reinforcing the oncologic safety of robotic surgery. Through her rigorous comparative effectiveness research, Dr. Gao has become a pivotal voice in shaping modern surgical standards for gastric cancer, directly influencing clinical practice and training protocols worldwide.
