In Memory of Professor Zhou Ning Xin

I first met Professor Zhou in 2009 when he and his team from the Second Artillery Hospital in Beijing visited the USA to learn and observe robotic surgery. Prior to the visit, I was contacted by their sponsor and was asked if I would be willing to host them at our hospital where I could share my robotic experience with them and show them our operating room facility. I learned that Professor Zhou was an extremely well-regarded surgeon in China. He was at the time the second in command of the Second Artillery Hospital in Beijing and a Vice President of Chinese Hepatobiliary Surgery Society.
