About
Dr. Yan‐Yan Zheng is a cardiothoracic surgeon whose research centers on minimally invasive thoracic surgery, particularly robot-assisted thymectomy. Her major contributions include a landmark single-arm meta-analysis and systematic review on the complications of robot-assisted thymectomy, published in 2021. This work systematically evaluated the safety profile of robotic video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (R-VATS) for thymectomy, addressing critical questions about optimal surgical approach—left, right, or subxiphoid—and its associated morbidity. With 12 citations, this study has become a foundational reference for surgeons adopting robotic techniques, helping to standardize perioperative care and reduce adverse outcomes. Dr. Zheng’s research bridges the gap between emerging robotic technology and evidence-based surgical practice, directly impacting patient safety in thoracic oncology. Her work is particularly notable for its rigorous methodology in synthesizing data from diverse international cohorts, offering clear guidance for surgical decision-making. By quantifying risks and highlighting best practices, Dr. Zheng has advanced the field of minimally invasive thymic surgery, making her a key voice in the ongoing evolution of robotic-assisted thoracic procedures.
