About

Yangyang Tan is a clinical researcher whose work centers on the application of robotic surgery in complex oncologic and pediatric surgical procedures. Tan’s major contributions lie in conducting systematic reviews and meta-analyses that evaluate the safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted techniques compared to traditional approaches. Notably, Tan led a comprehensive meta-analysis on robotic surgery for choledochal cyst excisions (2022, 8 citations), providing critical evidence that robotic assistance offers a safe and effective alternative for this challenging pediatric condition. Expanding into urologic oncology, Tan’s 2023 meta-analysis on robotic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for testicular cancer (6 citations) systematically compared outcomes against standard laparoscopy, helping to clarify the role of robotics in this specialized procedure. Through rigorous evidence synthesis, Tan has helped bridge the gap between emerging surgical technologies and clinical practice, offering surgeons and patients data-driven insights into the benefits and limitations of robotic approaches. Tan’s work is particularly valuable for researchers and clinicians seeking to understand the current evidence base for minimally invasive surgery in both pediatric and adult populations, making a meaningful impact on surgical decision-making and patient safety.
