About

Dr. Chiung‐Nien Chen is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped the field of minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery. His primary research focuses on the technical refinement and clinical outcomes of robotic and laparoscopic liver resections, with a particular emphasis on major hepatectomies. Dr. Chen’s landmark study, "Robotic major hepatectomy: Is there a learning curve?" (2016, 180 citations), is a cornerstone in the field, providing the first rigorous analysis of the procedural learning curve for complex robotic liver surgery. This work not only established critical benchmarks for surgical training and patient safety but also demonstrated that robotic approaches can achieve outcomes comparable to traditional open surgery with reduced morbidity. Beyond this seminal paper, Dr. Chen has authored numerous studies on surgical techniques, perioperative management, and long-term oncologic results, collectively garnering hundreds of citations. His contributions have been instrumental in advancing the adoption of robotic surgery in hepatobiliary centers worldwide, making complex procedures more accessible and safer for patients. Dr. Chen’s research continues to guide the next generation of surgeons in mastering these cutting-edge techniques.
