Professor Dong has attained many remarkable achievements in the field of hepatobiliary surgery, especially in the long-term management of complex biliary diseases. He was the first to propose the concept of “Precision Surgery” worldwide and has since been undertaking endeavors in establishing the associated surgical paradigms and technological systems. The proposal of “precision liver surgery” in 2006 ushered in a paradigm shift from conventional experience-based surgical practices to that of modern precision surgery.
Professor Dong has published more than 200 SCI papers as either first author or corresponding author, and has presided over the establishment of 17 industry standard guides. For his outstanding contributions to hepatobiliary surgery, Professor Dong was awarded the 2nd prize of the National Award of Science and Technology Progress as the first contributor and the 1st prize of the National Award of Science and Technology Progress as Co-director.
