About
Zixuan Fu is a pioneering surgeon-researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for hepatobiliary and pancreatic malignancies, with a particular focus on gallbladder cancer. His most impactful contribution is a landmark 2022 study comparing robotic extended cholecystectomy (REC) to open extended cholecystectomy (OEC) for T1a–T3 gallbladder cancer. This matched comparison, which has garnered 9 citations, was the first to rigorously demonstrate that REC is not only feasible but also offers comparable short- and long-term oncologic outcomes to the traditional open approach. By systematically analyzing data from 2015 to 2022, Fu provided critical evidence that robotic surgery can achieve equivalent lymph node dissection and survival rates while potentially reducing recovery times and complications. His work addresses a key uncertainty in the field, challenging the conventional reliance on open surgery for advanced gallbladder cancer. Fu’s research has significant implications for expanding access to robotic techniques in complex oncologic resections, positioning him as a leading voice in the integration of robotics into hepatobiliary surgery. His findings continue to influence clinical guidelines and inspire further investigation into minimally invasive approaches for aggressive gastrointestinal cancers.
