About
Chung Yip Chan is a leading hepatopancreatobiliary surgeon whose research has fundamentally shaped the global understanding of minimally invasive liver and pancreatic surgery. Based at a prominent Southeast Asian institution, Chan has dedicated his career to rigorously evaluating and advancing robotic and laparoscopic surgical techniques, with a particular focus on complex hepatectomy procedures that were once considered prohibitively difficult to perform through minimally invasive approaches. His most influential contributions include landmark international multicentre studies comparing robotic and laparoscopic techniques across virtually every major hepatic resection type — from right and extended right hepatectomy (120 citations) to technically demanding posterosuperior segment resections. These propensity score-matched analyses have provided the field with robust, high-quality evidence where randomised trials remain scarce. His 2018 single-institution series documenting 400 consecutive minimally invasive resections (84 citations) established a critical benchmark for institutional adoption and outcomes tracking. Chan's work extends to pancreatic surgery, with notable comparative studies on robotic versus laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy, and to living donor hepatectomy through comprehensive network meta-analyses. Collectively accumulating over 600 citations, his research has helped legitimise and standardise minimally invasive hepatopancreatobiliary surgery at expert centres worldwide, making him an indispensable voice in the field's ongoing evolution.
