About
Yiqing Shi is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgery through single-incision robotic-assisted platforms. Her major contributions lie in evaluating the feasibility, safety, and clinical outcomes of novel surgical systems—particularly the da Vinci Single-Port (SP) platform—for colorectal procedures. In her landmark 2023 pilot study, she demonstrated that single-incision robotic surgery could overcome the technical barriers and steep learning curve of traditional single-incision laparoscopy, offering enhanced precision and recovery benefits. That work has garnered 18 citations, reflecting its impact on the field. Her comprehensive 2023 review further synthesized the clinical status and future prospects of this emerging technology (13 citations), while her 2025 exploratory cohort study provided early evidence for the da Vinci SP system’s role in colorectal surgery (5 citations). Collectively, her research has helped define a new frontier in minimally invasive surgery, bridging the gap between cosmetic superiority, recovery advantages, and noninferior surgical outcomes. Shi’s work is essential reading for surgeons and researchers seeking to understand the trajectory of single-port robotic surgery and its potential to reshape operative practice.
