About

Tingting Lu is a rising voice in surgical outcomes research, with a focused expertise in bibliometric analysis and evidence-based surgery. Her work critically examines the evolution and impact of robotic surgery, particularly through large-scale literature reviews that map the field’s most influential studies. In her 2021 bibliometric analysis of robotic versus open surgery, Lu identified the distribution and characteristics of the top 100 most-cited papers, providing a foundational roadmap for researchers navigating this rapidly expanding domain. Building on this, she conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis in 2022 evaluating robot-assisted surgery for choledochal cyst excisions, demonstrating its clinical efficacy and safety. This work, which synthesizes data from eight major databases, offers crucial evidence for pediatric and hepatobiliary surgeons considering minimally invasive approaches. While her citation counts (10 and 8, respectively) reflect an early-career stage, her methodological rigor and ability to distill complex surgical trends into actionable insights mark her as a promising contributor to surgical innovation. Lu’s research is particularly valuable for students and clinicians seeking to understand where robotic surgery stands today and where it is headed.
