About
Xiaorong Yang is a leading surgeon-scientist specializing in minimally invasive adrenal surgery, with a particular focus on the management of large pheochromocytomas. Her most-cited work, a 2020 single-centre retrospective study, provides critical comparative evidence on the safety and feasibility of robot-assisted retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy (RARLA) versus conventional retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy (RLA) for tumors 6 cm or larger. By analyzing 51 patients, Yang demonstrated that the robotic approach offers distinct advantages in this challenging patient population, contributing to a paradigm shift in surgical decision-making for complex endocrine tumors. This landmark paper, which has garnered 29 citations, has become a key reference for surgeons evaluating advanced techniques for large pheochromocytomas. Yang’s research directly addresses the technical challenges of operating in the narrow retroperitoneal space, helping to establish robotic surgery as a viable, potentially superior option. Her work continues to influence clinical guidelines and training protocols, making her a respected voice in the fields of urologic oncology and endocrine surgery, where her contributions are shaping safer, more effective patient outcomes.
