About
Dr. Yan-Ming Zhu is a pioneering researcher in the field of surgical robotics, with a focused expertise in image-guided, robot-assisted interventions for complex cranial and otologic procedures. His major contribution lies in advancing the precision of percutaneous puncture techniques for critical anatomical targets, such as the foramen ovale and foramina stylomastoideum. In his landmark 2021 cadaveric study, Dr. Zhu demonstrated the feasibility of using robotic systems—building upon platforms like the da Vinci Surgical System—to access occult, high-risk positions at the skull base, where traditional manual approaches pose significant challenges. This work, which has garnered 5 citations, provides foundational evidence for reducing procedural risk and improving accuracy in neurosurgical and otolaryngological interventions. By translating robotic precision to these delicate anatomical corridors, Dr. Zhu’s research holds promise for enhancing outcomes in treatments for trigeminal neuralgia and facial nerve disorders. His achievements underscore a commitment to bridging the gap between advanced robotic technology and clinical application, offering a safer path forward for surgery in the most inaccessible regions of the head.
