About

Yaoxing Duan is a colorectal surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for rectal cancer, with a particular focus on robotic and laparoscopic approaches. His major contribution lies in rigorously comparing the medium-term oncological outcomes of robotic total mesorectal excision (R-TME) versus laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (L-TME), providing critical evidence that robotic systems can overcome key limitations of conventional laparoscopy. His most cited paper, "Robotic versus Laparoscopic Total Mesorectal Excision Surgery in Rectal Cancer: Analysis of Medium-Term Oncological Outcomes" (2022), has garnered 6 citations and offers valuable insights into surgical quality and patient prognosis. Duan’s research helps clarify the role of robotic assistance in improving surgical precision and oncological safety, addressing a pressing question in colorectal surgery. His work is particularly notable for its focus on medium-term outcomes, bridging the gap between short-term feasibility studies and long-term survival data. For students and researchers in surgical oncology, Duan’s analyses provide a data-driven foundation for understanding how technological innovation can enhance surgical care and patient outcomes in rectal cancer treatment.
