About
Dr. Yan-qun Na is a pioneering surgeon-researcher at the forefront of urologic oncology, specializing in the integration of advanced holographic and robotic technologies for kidney and prostate cancer surgery. Her major contributions center on developing and validating real-time holographic reconstruction (HR) navigation during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, a technique that transforms preoperative imaging into interactive 3D holograms for intraoperative guidance. In her landmark 2021 study, she demonstrated the efficacy of HR combined with the da Vinci robotic system for treating renal tumors, achieving precise tumor resection while preserving healthy tissue. Her 2022 work extended this approach to complex renal hilar tumors, showcasing its safety and feasibility. Dr. Na has also made significant strides in prostate cancer surgery, investigating how 3D membranous urethral parameters—specifically length and volume—predict urinary continence recovery after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy. Her research, with papers accumulating over 28 citations, directly impacts surgical planning and patient quality of life. By bridging cutting-edge imaging with robotic precision, Dr. Na is redefining the standards of minimally invasive oncologic surgery.
