About
Dr. Zhenkai Shi is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research centers on robotic-assisted surgical techniques for prostate cancer, with a particular focus on radical prostatectomy. His most influential work, "Robotic-assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy From a Single Chinese Center: A Learning Curve Analysis" (2016, 27 citations), established foundational benchmarks for surgical proficiency and remains a key reference for training programs worldwide. Dr. Shi has made significant contributions to expanding the boundaries of surgical oncology, notably through his investigation of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy for oligometastatic prostate cancer—a challenging patient population traditionally considered beyond surgical cure. His propensity score matching study (2019) provided early evidence that local treatment may offer therapeutic benefits in these cases, helping to shift clinical paradigms. Additionally, Dr. Shi developed the innovative SUTURE (suture-under-tent and underside-reposition-enhancement) technique, a novel refinement in robotic-assisted prostatectomy that enhances surgical precision and safety. Through these contributions, Dr. Shi has advanced both the technical execution of robotic surgery and the evidence base for its application in complex prostate cancer scenarios, establishing himself as a leading figure in the field.
