About
Yongxiang Tang is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on improving surgical outcomes for penile cancer through advanced fluorescence imaging. His primary research focus is the refinement of inguinal lymphadenectomy, a critical procedure for managing lymph node metastasis in penile cancer. Tang’s major contribution lies in developing and validating the use of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence guidance to enhance the precision and safety of this surgery. His landmark 2022 paper introduced the “light green up” technique for robotic bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy via a hypogastric subcutaneous approach, detailing a novel method to improve dissection efficiency and reduce complications. Building on this, his 2023 prospective, single-blind randomized controlled trial (cited 7 times) provided robust evidence for the safety and efficacy of ICG-guided inguinal lymph node dissection. With a combined 15 citations on these key works, Tang’s research is shaping a new standard in penile cancer surgery, offering patients a less invasive, more targeted approach that minimizes morbidity while maintaining oncologic rigor. His work stands as a significant step forward in urologic oncology, directly impacting clinical practice.
