About
Xiaowei Qi is a leading surgeon-scientist advancing minimally invasive approaches in oncologic surgery, with a focus on breast and thyroid cancers. His most impactful work investigates the long-term oncologic prognosis of minimal access breast surgery (MABS) versus conventional breast surgery (CBS), a landmark study with 50 citations that provides critical evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of MABS in breast cancer management. In thyroid surgery, Qi has pioneered the unilateral axilla-bilateral areola (UABA) approach for da Vinci robot-assisted thyroidectomy, demonstrating its feasibility and safety in a large series of 500 cases—the largest single-surgeon cohort reported. His contributions include the first documented in-situ preservation of a subcapsular parathyroid gland through super-meticulous capsular dissection during robotic radical thyroidectomy, a technical innovation that reduces hypoparathyroidism risk. With over 80 cumulative citations across his key works, Qi’s research bridges surgical innovation and rigorous outcomes analysis, establishing benchmarks for robotic and minimal access techniques that improve patient recovery while maintaining oncologic standards. His work is essential reading for surgeons and researchers exploring the frontier of scarless, precision cancer surgery.
