About
Dr. Zhehao He is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for lung and esophageal cancers. His most impactful work, a 2016 propensity-matched analysis comparing robotic and video-assisted thoracic surgery for lung cancer (77 citations), provided crucial early evidence that robotic-assisted surgery offers comparable perioperative outcomes to thoracoscopic approaches, helping to validate robotic platforms in thoracic oncology. Dr. He also introduced an innovative intraoperative ultrasound technique as an “alternative finger” to localize pulmonary nodules during robotic-assisted thoracic surgery, addressing a critical challenge in minimally invasive procedures. His recent 2024 study extends this expertise to esophageal cancer, comparing short-term outcomes of robot-assisted, video-assisted, and open esophagectomy after neoadjuvant treatment. With a career dedicated to refining surgical precision and patient recovery, Dr. He’s work has shaped clinical decision-making in thoracic surgery, earning recognition for its practical impact on operative safety and oncologic efficacy. His contributions continue to guide surgeons navigating the evolving landscape of robotic and minimally invasive approaches.
