About

Dr. Wenbo Tang is a pioneering surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of advanced robotics and bio-inspired materials, fundamentally reshaping hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery. His landmark comparative study on robotic versus laparoscopic hemihepatectomy (44 citations) provided crucial evidence for the safety and efficacy of robotic approaches in complex liver resections, while his single-team experience with over 1,000 robotic pancreatic surgeries (23 citations) established a new benchmark for procedural volume and safety in high-stakes pancreatic operations. Tang’s contributions extend beyond the operating room into materials science, where he co-developed a dual-bioinspired tissue adhesive based on peptide dendrimers (38 citations) that achieves rapid, strong adhesion on wet tissues—a breakthrough addressing a critical unmet need in surgical wound closure. His work on intraoperative ultrasound-guided robotic pancreatic enucleation demonstrates a meticulous approach to preserving healthy tissue, challenging the traditional 3mm distance rule from the main pancreatic duct. With a research portfolio spanning clinical outcomes, surgical innovation, and biomaterials engineering, Tang stands as a translational leader whose work directly improves patient safety and expands the frontiers of minimally invasive surgery.
