About
Dr. Shuiqing Chi is a pioneering pediatric surgeon whose work is defining the frontier of robotic surgery for congenital anomalies in children. Her research focuses on demonstrating the safety, efficacy, and comparative advantages of robotic-assisted techniques over traditional laparoscopic and thoracoscopic approaches. Dr. Chi’s major contributions span a wide range of complex procedures, including the treatment of Hirschsprung disease, where she has led prospective studies on robotic proctosigmoidectomy, and choledochal cysts, with multiple high-impact comparative analyses and a systematic review. Her work also extends to robotic Kasai portoenterostomy for biliary atresia, diaphragmatic plication, and pulmonary resection. With her most-cited papers accumulating over 190 citations, Dr. Chi’s influence is rapidly growing. Notably, her 2023 multicenter prospective study on robotic surgery for Hirschsprung disease and her 2025 propensity score-matched study on surgical workload are landmark contributions that provide crucial evidence for the adoption of robotics in pediatric surgery. Through her rigorous comparative research, Dr. Chi is not only validating new techniques but also actively shaping the future standard of care for the youngest and most vulnerable surgical patients.
