About
Chee Keong Kwoh is a pioneer in the field of medical robotics, with a career dedicated to enhancing the safety and precision of minimally invasive surgical procedures. His research focuses on integrating computer-assisted systems, robotics, and laser technology to address critical challenges in urology and neurosurgery. Kwoh’s most significant contributions include the development of Computer-Assisted transurethral laser resection of the prostate (CALRP), a groundbreaking approach that reduces the steep learning curve and long operating times associated with traditional laser prostate surgery. His work on the Hazard Identification and Safety Insurance Control (HISIC) methodology established a systematic framework for ensuring the reliability of medical robots, a cornerstone for their clinical adoption. With his most-cited paper, “The safety issues of medical robotics” (82 citations), Kwoh has shaped the discourse on risk mitigation in robotic surgery. He has also explored robotic applications in skull base surgery, demonstrating the versatility of his approach. Through his rigorous software design and safety protocols, Kwoh has laid the essential groundwork for the next generation of intelligent, surgeon-assistive robots, making him a key figure in the evolution of computer-aided medicine.
