About

Dr. Yicen Ying is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research focuses on minimally invasive reconstructive techniques for complex ureteral strictures. Her major contributions center on advancing lingual mucosal graft ureteroplasty (LMGU), a novel approach that uses oral tissue to repair damaged ureters while avoiding traditional open surgery. In her landmark 2024 study, Dr. Ying prospectively evaluated both objective surgical outcomes and subjective patient-reported quality-of-life measures, demonstrating that minimally invasive LMGU achieves high success rates with minimal morbidity. This work, which has already garnered 10 citations, provides crucial evidence that patient-centered outcomes align with clinical efficacy. Her 2022 comparative analysis of robotic versus laparoscopic LMGU (9 citations) further established that robotic assistance offers superior precision for these delicate reconstructions without compromising safety. Dr. Ying’s research has fundamentally shifted the paradigm for managing complex ureteral strictures, offering patients a less invasive alternative with excellent functional recovery. Her ongoing work continues to refine surgical techniques and expand indications for tissue-engineered grafts, cementing her reputation as a leader in reconstructive urology.
