About

Yu-Tian Xiao is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work is redefining the boundaries of minimally invasive prostate cancer surgery. His primary research focuses on advancing robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) techniques, with a particular emphasis on single-port and perineal approaches that reduce patient trauma and improve recovery. Dr. Xiao’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility of robotic perineal radical prostatectomy (RPRP) and extraperitoneal single-port RARP using the da Vinci Si system, innovations that offer new options for patients with complex surgical histories, such as those with prior rectal cancer surgery. His work on nerve-sparing “super-veil” techniques further underscores his commitment to preserving functional outcomes. Beyond surgical technique, Dr. Xiao is investigating neoadjuvant radiohormonal therapy for oligo-metastatic and locally advanced prostate cancer, leading phase I/II clinical trials that explore combined-modality approaches to improve oncologic control. With his most-cited papers accumulating over 45 citations, Dr. Xiao’s research is steadily shaping the future of robotic urologic oncology, making him a rising leader in the field.
