About
Sanlin Lei is a pioneering surgeon-researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) for colorectal and gastric cancers. His major contributions include demonstrating the safety and feasibility of robotic NOSES during the initial learning curve, a critical step for broader clinical adoption. Lei has also tackled rare anatomical challenges, such as performing robotic low anterior resection with transanal specimen extraction in a patient with situs inversus totalis, showcasing the adaptability of robotic platforms. His research, cited over 55 times collectively, provides foundational evidence for integrating NOSES into robotic surgery, reducing abdominal incisions and improving patient recovery. Notably, his studies on totally robotic distal gastrectomy further extend these benefits to gastric cancer patients. Lei’s work is instrumental in shaping the future of scarless colorectal surgery, offering a roadmap for surgeons navigating the complexities of robotic techniques and rare anatomical variations.
