About
Dr. Yihaoran Yang is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on the comparative effectiveness of emerging robotic surgical platforms for cancer treatment. His work centers on evaluating the KangDuo Surgical Robotic System, a domestically developed Chinese platform, against the established Da Vinci system in radical colorectal cancer surgery. Dr. Yang’s major contributions include demonstrating that the KangDuo system achieves non-inferior short-term oncologic outcomes, with his landmark 2023 prospective cohort study (26 citations) providing critical evidence of surgical quality equivalence. He further extended this research through a 2025 prospective study (8 citations) confirming substantial equivalence between the two systems, and a multicenter randomized controlled trial (3 citations) specifically validating the KangDuo system’s safety and efficacy in elderly patients. Dr. Yang’s work has been instrumental in expanding access to robotic surgery by supporting the clinical adoption of cost-effective, domestically produced robotic platforms. His research directly addresses the global need for evidence-based comparisons of competing surgical technologies, making him a key figure in the evolution of minimally invasive colorectal cancer surgery.
