About
Dr. Bor-Shiuan Shyr is a leading hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD). His major contributions have systematically established the feasibility, safety, and oncologic justification of robotic approaches for complex pancreatic and periampullary tumors. In a landmark study of 500 consecutive RPD cases, Dr. Shyr demonstrated the procedure's evolving safety profile and reproducibility. He further pioneered comparative analyses showing that RPD offers comparable or superior outcomes to open surgery for challenging patient populations, including those over 80 years old and individuals with ampullary cancer. His work on chyle leakage after robotic versus open pancreaticoduodenectomy (24 citations) provided the first characterization of this complication in minimally invasive contexts. Dr. Shyr has also investigated technical nuances such as the impact of hepatic artery variations on surgical outcomes. With multiple high-impact studies published between 2020 and 2024, his research has been instrumental in expanding the indications for robotic pancreatic surgery, helping to establish RPD as a viable standard-of-care option for appropriately selected patients.
