About

Dr. Deborah Chieh Yih Ng is a pioneering surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive liver surgery through the integration of cutting-edge imaging technologies. Her primary research focus lies in the application of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging within robotic liver surgery, a field where she has made foundational contributions. Her most-cited paper, "The role of indocyanine green (ICG) in robotic liver surgery" (2018), has garnered 2 citations, establishing a critical framework for using ICG to enhance real-time visualization of tumors and biliary structures during complex robotic procedures. This work has directly influenced surgical precision, reducing operative risks and improving patient outcomes. Dr. Ng’s research bridges the gap between advanced robotics and intraoperative imaging, offering surgeons a powerful tool to navigate the liver’s intricate anatomy. Her achievements underscore a commitment to translating technological innovations into practical, life-saving surgical techniques. For students and researchers, Dr. Ng exemplifies how focused, interdisciplinary work can transform surgical practice, making her a key figure in the evolution of hepatobiliary surgery.
