About
Dr. Zhenggui Du is a pioneering breast surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for breast cancer treatment, particularly endoscopic and robotic-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate implant-based reconstruction. His major contributions include developing the novel "reverse-sequence" endoscopic technique (R-E-NSM), which significantly reduces operation time and makes bilateral procedures feasible—a critical improvement over conventional endoscopic and robotic methods that were often too lengthy for double surgeries. Dr. Du also introduced the air inflation adjustment technique, expanding surgical candidacy to patients with large or severely ptotic breasts, who were previously considered unsuitable for nipple-sparing mastectomy. His work has been cited over 44 times, with his most influential paper (32 citations) establishing the safety and efficacy of endoscopic-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy with direct-to-implant subpectoral reconstruction. By subverting traditional surgical paradigms through cost-effective, time-efficient, and scar-minimizing approaches, Dr. Du has democratized access to aesthetic breast reconstruction. His ongoing prospective cohort studies continue to refine these techniques, positioning him as a leading innovator in oncoplastic breast surgery.
