About

Dr. Wei‐Chih Su is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive, robotic-assisted surgery for rectal and sigmoid colon cancers. His major contributions center on refining surgical techniques to optimize oncological outcomes while minimizing complications. Dr. Su is particularly known for pioneering the "high dissection and low ligation" approach for the inferior mesenteric artery, a method that preserves blood flow to the anastomosis and reduces complication rates compared to traditional high ligation. His work has demonstrated the safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted total mesorectal excision (TME), especially in challenging cases such as low-lying rectal tumors and in patients who have undergone neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy or previous abdominal surgery. With his most-cited paper garnering 45 citations, Dr. Su’s research has significantly impacted clinical practice, providing robust evidence that robotic techniques can achieve excellent pathological and oncological outcomes. His studies, including those on optimal timing between radiotherapy and surgery, have helped refine perioperative protocols, making him a key figure in the evolution of robotic colorectal surgery.
