About

Dr. Haixiang Qin is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research focuses on enhancing surgical outcomes for complex urological conditions, particularly through minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques. His major contributions center on improving post-operative quality of life for prostate cancer patients and developing innovative solutions for challenging transplant ureteral strictures. In his landmark 2019 case-control study (18 citations), Dr. Qin identified key predictors for immediate continence recovery following Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, offering critical insights that help surgeons preserve urinary function without compromising oncological control. More recently, Dr. Qin has advanced the field of transplant urology by pioneering the use of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence guidance during robotic Boari flap-pelvis anastomosis—a novel technique for managing long-segment transplant ureteral strictures. His 2024 case series demonstrates how real-time fluorescent imaging can precisely identify ischemic stricture segments, enabling more accurate resection and reconstruction. This work addresses a historically challenging complication in kidney transplant recipients, offering new hope for graft preservation. With his dual focus on functional recovery and surgical innovation, Dr. Qin continues to push the boundaries of robotic urology, translating cutting-edge technology into tangible improvements in patient care.
