About

Webin Ji is a pioneering surgeon-scientist whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, with a particular focus on robotic and minimally invasive techniques. His most influential research centers on the application of robotic surgery for complex malignancies, most notably hilar cholangiocarcinoma. In his landmark 2016 study, Ji demonstrated the feasibility and safety of robotic radical resection for this notoriously difficult cancer, reporting perioperative and long-term outcomes from an initial series that has since garnered over 100 citations. This work established a critical benchmark, showing that robotic approaches could achieve comparable oncologic results to open surgery while potentially reducing morbidity. Beyond this seminal paper, Ji’s broader contributions have helped define the role of technology in improving surgical precision and patient recovery. His research has been instrumental in training a new generation of surgeons and expanding the boundaries of what is possible in minimally invasive oncology. With a citation impact that continues to grow, Webin Ji stands as a leading voice in the integration of robotics into complex cancer surgery.
