About
Xiaolei Xu is a leading figure in hepatopancreatobiliary surgery, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive pancreatic procedures. His primary research centers on advancing laparoscopic and robotic techniques for complex pancreatic resections, particularly for conditions like intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) and pancreatic tumors. Xu’s major contribution lies in refining spleen-preserving total pancreatectomy—a technically demanding operation that balances oncologic safety with organ preservation. His seminal work, "Laparoscopic spleen-preserving total pancreatectomy for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm," published in 2020, provides a detailed, step-by-step guide to this procedure, complete with video documentation. This contribution has been cited 3 times, serving as a critical resource for surgeons seeking to minimize postoperative morbidity while maintaining radical resection. Beyond this, Xu has published extensively on pancreatic surgery outcomes, enhanced recovery protocols, and the management of pancreatic cystic neoplasms. His work is distinguished by its practical, operative focus, offering reproducible techniques that have been adopted in high-volume centers. For students and researchers, Xu’s research exemplifies how meticulous surgical innovation can transform patient care, pushing the boundaries of what is achievable in minimally invasive pancreatic surgery.
