About

Wei-Chen Hong is a pioneering figure in the field of robotic-assisted minimally invasive neurosurgery, with a focused expertise in skull base procedures. His most cited work, "Robotic Skull Base Surgery via Supraorbital Keyhole Approach" (2012), addresses critical debates surrounding the safety and limitations of the supraorbital keyhole technique for anterior skull base tumors and aneurysms. By systematically evaluating the feasibility of surgical robotic technology in this delicate context, Hong has provided foundational evidence that robotic systems can enhance precision and safety while minimizing invasiveness. This contribution, with 36 citations, has helped bridge the gap between traditional microsurgical approaches and emerging robotic platforms. Hong’s research is instrumental in advancing the field of neuroendoscopy and robotic surgery, offering new possibilities for treating complex cranial pathologies with reduced patient morbidity. His work continues to inspire neurosurgeons and engineers alike, laying the groundwork for future innovations in automated surgical assistance.
