About
Dr. Xingshi Chen is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for lung cancer and mediastinal diseases, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS). His most impactful work includes a landmark 2017 propensity score-matched study comparing early outcomes of robotic versus uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (UVATS) for lung cancer, which has garnered 53 citations and provided critical evidence for surgical decision-making. Dr. Chen has made significant contributions to the technical refinement of robotic procedures, including combined anatomic pulmonary subsegmentectomy, lobectomy, and segmentectomy, demonstrating improved precision and patient outcomes. His publications, many from Ruijin Hospital, detail innovative approaches to complex resections such as left upper lobe S1+2+3 segmentectomy and enucleation of esophageal leiomyoma, with consistently low complication rates and short hospital stays. Beyond technique, Dr. Chen emphasizes the importance of surgical team collaboration in robotic settings. With over 80 cumulative citations across his most-cited works, he is a leading voice in establishing RATS as a safe, effective alternative to traditional VATS, shaping the future of thoracic oncology surgery.
