About

Dr. Xiafei Hong is a pioneering surgeon whose work centers on the surgical management of rare pediatric endocrine tumors, with a particular focus on insulinomas associated with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) syndrome. Her landmark 2018 case report on robotic enucleation for pediatric insulinoma with MEN1 syndrome, cited 24 times, represents a critical contribution to minimally invasive pediatric surgery. In this study, Dr. Hong detailed the successful treatment of a 9-year-old girl suffering from recurrent hypoglycemic episodes, including loss of consciousness and convulsions, demonstrating that robotic techniques can safely and effectively manage these complex, life-threatening tumors in children. This work not only expands the surgical options for young patients but also provides a replicable framework for managing rare MEN1-associated conditions. Dr. Hong’s research bridges the gap between advanced surgical technology and pediatric endocrinology, offering hope for improved outcomes in a population where treatment options are limited. Her dedication to documenting and refining these procedures underscores her role as a leader in pediatric surgical oncology, with her findings guiding clinicians worldwide in the nuanced care of children with hereditary tumor syndromes.
