About

Zhi Wen is an emerging surgical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotic surgery, minimally invasive techniques, and urologic oncology. Specializing in systematic reviews and meta-analyses, Wen has established a focused research program evaluating the comparative effectiveness of advanced surgical technologies and approaches across urology and hepatobiliary surgery. Wen's most impactful contribution to date is a 2024 meta-analysis comparing the KangDuo surgical robot with the gold-standard da Vinci system in urologic surgery, garnering 12 citations and addressing a critical question as domestically developed robotic platforms challenge established systems globally. Complementing this, Wen has produced influential analyses examining robot-assisted versus open radical prostatectomy in obese patients and robotic versus open hepatectomy, collectively accumulating over 10 citations and offering clinicians nuanced, evidence-based guidance for complex patient populations. A recurring theme across Wen's portfolio is the rigorous evaluation of perioperative decision-making, including the role of the AirSeal insufflation system and perioperative blood transfusion on outcomes in renal cell carcinoma. With seven published meta-analyses in just three years, Wen is rapidly becoming a reliable synthesizer of surgical evidence, providing the clinical community with timely and methodologically rigorous guidance.
