About

Dr. Xiujun Cai is a pioneering surgeon-researcher at the forefront of minimally invasive and robotic surgery, with a primary focus on gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, and pancreatic procedures. His most impactful work, a 2017 systematic review and meta-analysis comparing robotic versus laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer, has garnered over 100 citations, establishing a critical evidence base for the adoption of robotic techniques in oncologic surgery. Dr. Cai’s recent contributions are nothing short of revolutionary: in 2025, he reported the first five cases of ultra-remote hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery performed using a domestic surgical robot controlled via 5G communication technology. This landmark study, already cited 14 times, demonstrates the feasibility and safety of performing complex, high-stakes procedures across vast distances, effectively collapsing geographic barriers to specialized surgical care. Further showcasing his technical ingenuity, Dr. Cai has also developed a novel "slipknot-gauged mechanical transmission" system for robotic operation, addressing fundamental challenges in instrument control. Through these achievements, Dr. Cai is not only refining current surgical standards but actively building the infrastructure for a future where expert robotic surgery is accessible anywhere, anytime.
