About
Shian Yu is a leading figure in hepatobiliary surgery, whose research focuses on the intersection of minimally invasive liver resection and complex patient comorbidities. Dr. Yu’s major contributions center on systematically quantifying how liver cirrhosis, portal hypertension, and tumor location affect the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic and robotic procedures. Through a series of landmark international multicenter studies—including analyses of over 10,000 patients—Yu has established risk-stratification models that guide surgeons in selecting the optimal approach for primary liver malignancies and colorectal liver metastases. With cumulative citations exceeding 48 in just two years, this work is rapidly shaping clinical guidelines. Notably, Yu’s 2023 study on major liver resections in cirrhotic patients (19 citations) and the 2024 multicenter analysis of open conversion rates (10 citations) are already considered essential references for surgeons navigating high-risk cases. By providing evidence-based benchmarks for difficulty and outcomes, Shian Yu is helping to expand the safe application of minimally invasive techniques to patients previously deemed ineligible, directly improving surgical decision-making and patient survival.
