About

Dr. Jingwei Cai is a pioneering hepatobiliary and splenic surgeon whose work is redefining the boundaries of minimally invasive organ-preserving surgery. His primary research focuses on advanced robotic and laparoscopic techniques for complex liver and spleen pathologies, with a particular emphasis on recurrent liver cancer and rare splenic diseases. Dr. Cai’s major contributions include demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic liver caudate lobectomy, a technically demanding procedure, and pioneering the use of Indocyanine Green (ICG) fluorescent imaging to guide repeated laparoscopic resections for recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma—a condition with a recurrence rate of up to 70%. His work on robot-assisted partial splenectomy for epidermoid cysts showcases a shift toward parenchymal-sparing approaches for rare splenic lesions. With his most-cited papers collectively garnering nearly 20 citations, Dr. Cai is establishing a strong evidence base for these novel techniques. His achievements highlight a commitment to pushing the envelope of surgical oncology, offering patients with complex, recurrent, or rare conditions safer, less invasive options that preserve organ function and improve recovery.
