About

Dr. Abigail Fong is a pioneering researcher in robotic-assisted surgery, with a focus on advancing minimally invasive techniques for thoracic and hepatobiliary procedures. Her work centers on integrating robotics with augmented reality and image-guided systems to enhance surgical precision and streamline patient care. Her most influential study, "Robotic Liver Resection" (2020, 64 citations), established foundational protocols for robotic hepatectomy, demonstrating improved outcomes over traditional methods. She further contributed to surgical ergonomics with "Study on augmented reality for robotic surgery bedside assistants" (2021, 18 citations), which improved real-time visualization for surgical teams. Her research on "Robotic assistance for quick and accurate image-guided needle placement" (2021, 17 citations) advanced precision in interventional oncology. More recently, Dr. Fong has explored the impact of robotics in lung cancer treatment, notably through "Trends in segmentectomy for the treatment of stage 1A non-small cell lung cancers" (2022, 5 citations) and "Streamlining care with single anesthetic robotic lung cancer diagnosis and resection" (2024, 3 citations), co-authored with a distinguished team. Her cumulative work, with over 100 citations, is shaping the future of robotic surgery by reducing operative times, improving accuracy, and enhancing patient recovery.
