About
Dr. Zizhen Zhang is a pioneering gastrointestinal surgeon whose work sits at the cutting edge of robotic surgery and artificial intelligence. His primary research focuses on developing and validating advanced surgical platforms for gastric cancer treatment, with a particular emphasis on integrating robotic systems and neural computing to enhance surgical precision and patient outcomes. Dr. Zhang’s major contributions include the first-ever total laparoscopy-assisted total gastrectomy performed with the Da Vinci robotic system, a landmark procedure conducted in August 2024 at Renji Hospital, Shanghai. This groundbreaking work, detailed in his 2025 publication, was executed under the innovative RENJI-GISH (Robotic Enhanced Neurocomputing Joint Intelligence Gastrointestinal Surgery Hub) framework, which represents a significant leap forward in surgical intelligence. Additionally, his preclinical studies have demonstrated the feasibility of novel robotic systems, such as the Carina Platform, for partial gastrectomy in porcine models, laying critical groundwork for clinical translation. While his most-cited papers are recent, their foundational nature signals a rapidly growing impact on the future of minimally invasive gastrointestinal surgery. Dr. Zhang’s work is poised to redefine standards of care in robotic gastrectomy.
