About
Zili Chen is a leading hepatobiliary surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for liver cancer, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Dr. Chen’s major contributions center on evaluating the safety and efficacy of robotic hepatectomy (RH) compared to traditional open surgery, especially for complex cases involving large tumors. In a landmark 2023 multicenter study, Chen demonstrated that robotic hepatectomy achieves comparable short-term and long-term outcomes to open surgery for patients with large HCC, while offering the benefits of reduced blood loss and faster recovery. This work, which has garnered 20 citations, provides critical evidence supporting the expanded use of robotic approaches in challenging oncologic resections. Beyond this study, Dr. Chen has published extensively on optimizing surgical strategies for liver malignancies, contributing to the growing body of literature that validates robotic techniques as a safe alternative to open hepatectomy. Chen’s research is instrumental in shaping modern surgical practice, offering patients with large HCC less invasive treatment options without compromising oncologic outcomes.
