About

Dr. Minggen Hu is a pioneering hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic surgery. His research centers on the application of robotic systems for complex liver and pancreatic resections, with a particular focus on establishing safety, efficacy, and standardized techniques. Dr. Hu’s major contributions include leading the development of the "International experts consensus guidelines on robotic liver resection in 2023" (93 citations), which provides a critical framework for global practice. He has also demonstrated the feasibility of robotic approaches for the most challenging procedures, such as robot-assisted retrohepatic vena cava thrombectomy (61 citations) and radical surgery for hilar cholangiocarcinoma (39 citations). His comparative studies, including those on robotic vs. laparoscopic hemihepatectomy (44 citations) and resections for giant liver haemangiomas (38 citations), consistently show the benefits of the robotic platform. With a landmark series of over 1,000 robotic pancreatic surgeries (23 citations) and detailed analyses of learning curves for complex hepatectomies, Dr. Hu’s work provides the evidence base and technical roadmap that is enabling the next generation of minimally invasive surgeons to push the boundaries of what is possible.
