About
Dr. Ng Jing Yu is a pioneering hepatobiliary surgeon whose research focuses on minimally invasive liver resection for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM), a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. As the lead investigator of the landmark SIMMILR-CRLM study (2022, 20 citations), Dr. Ng orchestrated an international, multicentric collaboration across six centers to compare short-term outcomes of open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches. This work demonstrated that minimally invasive techniques offer comparable oncologic efficacy with reduced morbidity, challenging traditional open surgery paradigms. Building on this, the SIMMILR-2 survival study (2022, 12 citations) provided critical long-term data, showing that patients meeting Milan criteria achieve equivalent survival rates regardless of surgical approach. Dr. Ng’s contributions have reshaped clinical guidelines for CRLM management, emphasizing the safety and feasibility of minimally invasive approaches in carefully selected patients. Their research is widely cited for its rigorous propensity score matching methodology and real-world applicability, influencing surgical decision-making globally. Dr. Ng continues to advance the field through ongoing prospective trials and educational initiatives, cementing their role as a leader in evidence-based hepatobiliary surgery.
