About

Shunrong Ji is a pioneering hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex pancreatic surgery. His major contributions center on expanding the boundaries of laparoscopic and robotic approaches, particularly for high-risk procedures like pancreaticoduodenectomy and tumor enucleation. Ji’s landmark 2019 paper, “Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy: are the best times coming?” (35 citations), critically evaluates the feasibility and safety of this challenging operation, helping to establish guidelines for its broader adoption. He further revolutionized practice by challenging a long-held contraindication: in his 2023 study “Minimally invasive enucleation of pancreatic tumors: The main pancreatic duct is no longer a restricted area” (10 citations), Ji demonstrated that tumors involving the main pancreatic duct can be safely removed via enucleation, preserving healthy tissue and reducing morbidity. His technical innovations extend to spleen-preserving total pancreatectomy for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms, as shown in his 2020 work (3 citations). With a growing citation impact and a reputation for pushing surgical boundaries, Ji is recognized as a leader in pancreatic minimally invasive surgery, offering patients safer, less invasive options for previously inoperable conditions.
