About
Yonghao Zhan is a pioneering urological surgeon whose research focuses on advancing robotic surgical techniques, particularly in nephron-sparing surgery and the clinical evaluation of next-generation robotic platforms. His most impactful work introduces the modified "Binding" suture renorrhaphy for robotic partial nephrectomy, a technique that closes the entire wound rim with all-layer flow suturing from parenchyma to hilum. This innovation, detailed in his 2022 study with 12 citations, demonstrates superior surgical and functional outcomes compared to traditional single- or double-layer methods, directly improving renal function preservation and reducing complications. Zhan has also been at the forefront of assessing novel modular robotic systems, including the Carina (2025, 4 citations) and AGIBOT® (2025, 1 citation), through prospective multicenter studies. His work on the Carina system, which evaluated safety and feasibility across 19 upper and lower urinary tract surgeries, addresses critical barriers to robotic adoption such as high costs and rigid system design. By systematically validating these emerging platforms, Zhan is shaping the future of accessible, flexible robotic surgery in urology, bridging the gap between innovation and clinical practice.
