About
Dr. Wen-Long Qiu is a colorectal surgeon whose research centers on optimizing surgical techniques for complex colorectal cancers, particularly through minimally invasive approaches and advanced intraoperative imaging. His most cited work investigates the short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic versus open multisegmental resection and anastomosis for synchronous colorectal cancer located in separate segments, a technically demanding procedure. Dr. Qiu’s contributions highlight the role of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging—a water-soluble, minimally toxic dye—in enhancing surgical precision. ICG facilitates anatomical identification of critical structures like ureters, assessment of lymph nodes, biliary mapping, and real-time evaluation of organ perfusion and anastomotic integrity. This work underscores his commitment to improving patient safety and surgical outcomes through innovative visualization technologies. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Qiu’s research bridges the gap between traditional open surgery and modern laparoscopic techniques, offering evidence-based guidance for managing multifocal colorectal malignancies. His findings are particularly valuable for surgeons navigating the challenges of multisegmental disease, where precise resection and anastomosis are paramount.
