About
Yuqiu Zhou is a pioneering surgeon and researcher in head and neck oncology, with a specialized focus on minimally invasive robotic surgery for parotid and thyroid diseases. Her key research areas include da Vinci robot-assisted surgical techniques, functional preservation of facial nerves, and aesthetic surgical approaches in maxillofacial oncology. Zhou’s major contribution lies in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of combining the da Vinci robotic system with a retroauricular hairline incision for parotid benign tumor resection—a technique that enhances precision through 3D visualization and articulating instruments while eliminating visible facial scars. Her landmark 2023 case report, with 3 citations, documents the first successful procedure of this kind performed at Sichuan Cancer Hospital, achieving no postoperative facial paralysis or salivary fistula. This work addresses the growing demand for both functional preservation and cosmetic outcomes in parotid surgery. Zhou’s innovative approach represents a significant step forward in robotic head and neck surgery, offering patients a less invasive, scarless alternative to traditional approaches. Her ongoing research continues to refine these techniques, positioning her as a rising leader in the field of robotic-assisted maxillofacial oncology.
