About
Andrew Yiu is a researcher at the forefront of digital surgery and surgical robotics, with a focused interest in how performance is measured and how industry structures shape the future of the operating room. His most significant contribution is a comprehensive systematic review on measures of performance and proficiency in robotic-assisted surgery (RAS), which has already garnered 16 citations since 2024. This work addresses a critical gap in the field: despite the global rise of RAS over the past three decades, there remains no standardized training curriculum or metric for technical skill. Yiu’s review systematically defines the metrics used to assess performance, laying essential groundwork for future training and credentialing. In a forward-looking 2025 paper, he draws a provocative parallel between the U.S. v. Apple antitrust case and the rise of digital surgery ecosystems, warning that surgical robot platforms could create monopolistic control over hardware, software, and services. This work demonstrates his ability to bridge surgical practice with broader technology policy. With additional corrections and conference presentations (ASGBI 2023), Yiu is establishing himself as a critical voice in the safe, equitable, and evidence-based adoption of robotic surgery.
