About
Yu-Jen Hsu is a colorectal surgeon and clinical researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for rectal cancer treatment. His primary research areas include transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME), laparoscopic surgery, and comparative outcomes in oncologic pelvic surgery. Hsu’s most notable contribution is a comprehensive meta-analysis comparing transanal versus transabdominal total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer in minimally invasive surgery, which has garnered significant attention in the surgical oncology community. This work critically evaluates the efficacy and safety of TaTME as an alternative to traditional laparoscopic approaches, addressing the ongoing challenge of achieving optimal outcomes in locally advanced rectal cancer. With over 2 citations to date, his research helps clarify the role of emerging surgical techniques in improving patient recovery and oncologic results. Hsu’s work is particularly valuable for surgeons and trainees seeking evidence-based guidance on adopting transanal approaches, and his meta-analysis serves as a key reference in the evolving landscape of colorectal cancer surgery.
