About

Yeqing Mao is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for prostate conditions. His primary research areas include robotic-assisted surgery, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) management, and novel approaches to prostatectomy that prioritize functional preservation. Mao’s most notable contribution is his pioneering work on robotic-assisted urethra-sparing simple prostatectomy via an extraperitoneal approach, detailed in a 2018 study that has garnered 34 citations. This technique represents a significant innovation in BPH surgery, as it aims to reduce complications such as urinary incontinence and preserve urethral integrity while effectively removing obstructive prostate tissue. By avoiding the transperitoneal route, his method also minimizes bowel-related risks and speeds recovery. Mao’s research has helped refine surgical protocols, offering patients a safer, more tailored alternative to traditional open or laparoscopic procedures. His work is particularly impactful for urologists seeking to balance optimal tissue removal with quality-of-life outcomes. With a focus on translating technical precision into tangible patient benefits, Mao continues to contribute to the evolution of robotic urological surgery, making him a respected figure in the field.
