About

Dr. Chiung-Ying Liao is a pioneering breast surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques in oncologic breast surgery, particularly robotic-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy (R-NSM). Her major contributions center on refining the use of the da Vinci surgical platform to perform nipple-sparing mastectomies through small, inconspicuous extramammary incisions, enabling immediate breast reconstruction with improved cosmetic outcomes. In her landmark 2019 study on robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy (6 citations), Dr. Liao established the feasibility and safety of this approach for early breast cancer management. Her prospective 2023 investigation (5 citations) critically evaluated postoperative residual breast tissue after R-NSM using magnetic resonance imaging, addressing a crucial gap in understanding local recurrence risks. This work has significant implications for surgical decision-making and long-term oncologic surveillance. Dr. Liao’s research bridges surgical innovation with patient-centered outcomes, helping to define best practices for robotic breast surgery. Her contributions are particularly valuable for surgeons seeking to reduce scarring while maintaining oncologic safety, and her findings continue to shape protocols for risk-reducing and curative mastectomies.
