About

Dr. BK Goh is a pioneering surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive hepatobiliary and pancreatic (HPB) surgery, particularly through the adoption of robotic-assisted techniques. His research focuses on demonstrating the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of robotic approaches for complex procedures, such as spleen-saving, vessel-preserving distal pancreatectomy and robotic hepatectomy. Dr. Goh’s major contributions include providing some of the earliest evidence from Singapore and Asia on robotic HPB surgery, with his most-cited papers—garnering 23, 18, and 17 citations respectively—detailing initial experiences and outcomes from Singapore General Hospital. These studies have helped establish a foundational understanding of robotic techniques in a region where experience was previously limited. By reporting on consecutive case series, Dr. Goh has offered valuable insights into the learning curve and potential benefits of robotic surgery, including improved precision and recovery. His work not only highlights the technical achievements of his institution but also serves as a crucial reference for other surgeons looking to adopt these advanced methods, ultimately contributing to the global expansion of robotic HPB surgery.
