About
Yangqin Xun is a leading voice in evidence-based surgical research, with a primary focus on the methodological rigor of meta-analyses in robotic surgery and postoperative care for urological oncology. Her most cited work, “The methodological quality of robotic surgical meta-analyses needed to be improved: a cross-sectional study” (117 citations), critically evaluates the transparency and reproducibility of published systematic reviews, revealing widespread deficiencies that threaten clinical decision-making. This landmark study has become a cornerstone for researchers striving to raise reporting standards in robotic surgery. Xun also co-authored a key meta-analysis comparing suprapubic tube versus urethral catheter drainage after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), synthesizing data from multiple international databases to guide postoperative management. Her contributions are vital for surgeons seeking evidence-based protocols that reduce patient discomfort and complications. By systematically identifying gaps in existing literature, Xun’s work empowers the surgical community to demand higher-quality evidence, ultimately improving patient outcomes in minimally invasive procedures. Her research continues to shape best practices in urological surgery and meta-analytic methodology.
