About
Bor-Shiuan Shyr is a pioneering surgeon in minimally invasive pancreatic surgery, with a primary research focus on robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD) and its outcomes compared to traditional open and laparoscopic approaches. His major contributions include advancing the technical feasibility and oncological safety of robotic Whipple procedures, notably through the introduction of "Mesopancreas level 3 dissection" in RPD, a technique that enhances radical resection for pancreatic head cancer. Shyr’s work has demonstrated that RPD can achieve comparable survival outcomes to open surgery while reducing recovery times and improving patient satisfaction. His most-cited studies, including those on propensity score-matched comparisons and risk factors for delayed gastric emptying, have garnered over 130 citations collectively, underscoring their influence on surgical practice. Notably, his research at Taipei Veterans General Hospital has provided robust evidence from one of Asia’s largest RPD cohorts, addressing critical questions about obesity’s impact on perioperative outcomes and the superiority of robotic over laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy. Shyr’s dedication to refining surgical techniques and evaluating patient-centered outcomes has positioned him as a leading voice in the global shift toward robotic pancreatic surgery.
