About
Dr. Wei-En Ho is a pioneering surgeon-researcher at the forefront of robotic and telesurgical innovation, with a primary focus on advancing minimally invasive gastrointestinal oncology. His most notable contribution is the landmark 2024 study demonstrating the feasibility of long-range telesurgical robotic radical gastrectomy in a live porcine model—a world-first achievement that successfully performed complex transnational robotic surgery across multiple network connections. This groundbreaking work, though early in its citation impact (2 citations), represents a paradigm shift in surgical accessibility, proving that distance need not be a barrier to specialized care. Dr. Ho’s research addresses critical challenges in surgical robotics, including network latency, haptic feedback, and procedural safety in remote settings. His work has significant implications for expanding surgical expertise to underserved regions and disaster zones. By pushing the boundaries of what is possible in telesurgery, Dr. Ho is helping to lay the foundation for a future where complex operations can be performed by expert surgeons anywhere in the world, potentially saving countless lives through improved access to high-quality surgical care.
