About

Xiaoxiao Ge is a leading thoracic surgeon whose research has significantly advanced the surgical management of thymomas, particularly through the comparative evaluation of minimally invasive techniques. Her key contributions center on refining surgical approaches for early-stage thymic tumors, with a focus on optimizing patient outcomes and reducing perioperative morbidity. In her highly cited 2013 study (84 citations), she systematically compared video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) with robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) for Masaoka stage I thymoma, demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic thymectomy. Complementing this, her second major work (61 citations) evaluated RATS against traditional transsternal thymectomy for early-stage thymomas, providing critical evidence that robotic approaches can achieve comparable oncologic results with less invasive impact. Collectively, these studies have helped establish robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery as a viable, effective alternative to open surgery, influencing clinical guidelines and practice patterns. Ge’s work is essential reading for surgeons and researchers exploring the evolution of minimally invasive thoracic oncology, as it provides rigorous comparative data that continues to shape surgical decision-making.
