About
Dr. Peng Chung Cheow is a leading hepatopancreatobiliary surgeon whose work has fundamentally shaped the adoption and refinement of minimally invasive surgery in Southeast Asia. His research centers on the safety, evolution, and comparative outcomes of laparoscopic and robotic approaches for liver and pancreatic resections. Through a landmark series of single-institution studies, Dr. Cheow has provided critical evidence demonstrating that minimally invasive hepatectomy and distal pancreatectomy can be safely adopted with favorable outcomes, even during the learning curve. His 2018 study on 400 consecutive minimally invasive hepatectomies (84 citations) and his 2016 comparison of robotic versus laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (64 citations) are seminal works that have guided surgical practice. Dr. Cheow has also contributed to the external validation of difficulty scoring systems for pancreatic surgeries, helping to standardize case selection and training. His cumulative work, which includes analyses of over 150 pancreatic procedures and multi-surgeon learning curves, has established a reproducible framework for centers worldwide to safely implement these advanced techniques, cementing his reputation as a pioneer in the field.
