About
Dr. Y Q Chen is a pioneering surgeon-scientist whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques through innovative simulation and training models. Their most impactful contribution is the development of optimized reusable modular 3D-printed models of choledochal cysts, designed to simulate laparoscopic and robotic bilioenteric anastomosis—a technically demanding procedure requiring exceptional hand-eye coordination. This work, published in 2024 and already garnering 2 citations, addresses a critical gap in surgical education by providing a cost-effective, reproducible platform for trainees to practice complex anastomoses outside the operating room. Dr. Chen’s research bridges the shift from traditional mentor-based training to structured simulation, enhancing safety and proficiency in pediatric and hepatobiliary surgery. By creating modular, reusable models, they have made high-fidelity training more accessible, reducing reliance on animal or cadaveric models. Their work is particularly notable for its practical impact on robotic surgery training, a rapidly growing field. Dr. Chen’s contributions are shaping the future of surgical education, offering a scalable solution to improve outcomes in complex bilioenteric procedures.
