By leveraging Kinevo 900’s 4K 3D visualization, integrated augmented reality, and microscope-integrated near-infrared fluorescence (MINIRF), Prof. Yang has elevated intraoperative lymphatic mapping, precision anastomosis, and surgical ergonomics. These capabilities have directly contributed to his landmark studies—over 20 SCI-indexed publications in top surgical journals such as Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Journal of the American College of Surgeons, and International Journal of Surgery—that define current best practices in lymphedema surgery. His work on MINIRF-enhanced vessel detection, optimal lymphatic vessel sizing, and innovative anastomotic techniques exemplifies how Kinevo’s advanced optics and modular design integrate seamlessly into cutting-edge clinical research.
Prof. Yang’s expertise extends beyond the operating theater. As Chair of the Education Chapter of Microsurgery for ICOPLAST and faculty for the Master’s Degree in Lymphedema Surgery at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, he has trained surgeons worldwide. Despite the constraints of the pandemic, he hosted the iCALS International Conference, connecting leaders from 27 countries, and regularly conducts live LVA demonstrations at leading centers in Europe and Asia.
With the ZEISS Kinevo 900 as a cornerstone technology, Prof. Yang continues to expand the boundaries of what is surgically possible—transforming complex supermicrosurgical concepts into reproducible, outcome-driven protocols, and positioning Taiwan as a global hub for innovation in lymphatic surgery.
