About

Xuemei Hao is a pioneering urological surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for male reproductive health, particularly varicocele repair. Her major contribution lies in integrating robotic-assisted laparoscopy with indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence angiography to achieve precise, artery-sparing varicocelectomy—a procedure that preserves testicular blood supply while effectively treating varicoceles. In her landmark 2020 study, which has garnered 10 citations, Hao reported the initial experience with this innovative approach across 45 procedures in 27 patients, demonstrating a mean unilateral operation time of just 49.1 minutes. This work not only showcases her technical expertise but also highlights her commitment to improving surgical outcomes through real-time vascular imaging. By reducing the risk of arterial injury and recurrence, Hao’s technique represents a significant leap forward in urological microsurgery. Her research bridges the gap between advanced robotics and functional preservation, offering a safer, more effective option for patients. As a rising leader in the field, Hao continues to shape the future of minimally invasive urology, inspiring both clinicians and researchers to explore the potential of fluorescence-guided surgery in reproductive medicine.
