About
Dr. Chee-Chien Yong is a leading hepatobiliary surgeon whose research focuses on refining minimally invasive liver surgery for patients with complex underlying liver disease. His work centers on two critical, intersecting areas: the impact of liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension on surgical outcomes, and the comparative effectiveness of laparoscopic versus robotic techniques. Through a series of landmark, multi-center international studies published in 2023, Dr. Yong has systematically demonstrated how the severity of cirrhosis and the presence of portal hypertension directly increase the technical difficulty and complication rates of both major and minor liver resections. His research provides a crucial, evidence-based framework for preoperative risk stratification, helping surgeons decide when minimally invasive approaches are safe and when they should be avoided. With over 38 citations in a single year for his foundational work on cirrhosis, Dr. Yong has established himself as a key voice in defining the safe boundaries of modern, minimally invasive liver surgery for primary liver malignancies and colorectal metastases.
