About
Wenli Cao is a pioneering researcher in pediatric surgery and surgical simulation, with a focus on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex congenital conditions. Her major contributions center on the development of optimized, reusable modular 3D-printed models for simulating laparoscopic and robotic bilioenteric anastomosis, particularly in the context of choledochal cyst repair. This work addresses a critical gap in surgical training, where traditional mentor-based methods are increasingly supplemented by high-fidelity simulation. Cao’s 2024 study on these models has already garnered early citations, reflecting its immediate relevance to the surgical community. By creating accessible, cost-effective training tools that enhance hand-eye coordination and procedural precision, she is helping to bridge the learning curve for robotic and laparoscopic surgery. Her research not only improves patient outcomes through better-prepared surgeons but also sets a new standard for reproducible, modular simulation in pediatric hepatobiliary surgery. Cao’s innovative approach marks her as a rising leader in surgical education and simulation technology.
