About
Chee‐Chien Yong is a leading figure in minimally invasive liver surgery, with a focused expertise in comparing robotic and laparoscopic techniques for hepatic resections. His major contributions center on rigorous, large-scale comparative effectiveness research, using advanced statistical methods like propensity-score matching to evaluate outcomes across different surgical approaches. Yong’s work has systematically addressed key challenges in the field, from minor resections of the anterolateral and posterosuperior segments to complex major hepatectomies. His landmark 2023 study comparing robotic and laparoscopic major hepatectomies has garnered 59 citations, while his analysis of robotic versus laparoscopic limited resections of the posterosuperior segments has been cited 54 times. Notably, he led an international multicenter study of over 10,500 patients examining the factors and impact of open conversion in minor liver resections. More recently, Yong has been instrumental in defining global benchmark outcomes for robotic liver resections, establishing quality standards for the field. His work is essential reading for surgeons and researchers seeking evidence-based guidance on adopting robotic techniques in hepatobiliary surgery.
