Jerome Lyn-Sue

About

Dr. Jerome Lyn-Sue is a pioneering academic surgeon whose research centers on the safe, efficient, and scalable integration of robotic surgery into general surgery training programs. His major contributions lie in developing and validating structured curricula that allow surgical residents to learn robotic techniques alongside practicing surgeons, without compromising patient safety or operating room efficiency. His landmark work, "Implementing a robotics curriculum at an academic general surgery training program" (71 citations), provides a foundational model for residency programs nationwide. Dr. Lyn-Sue also critically examined the practical barriers to adopting new technology, as seen in his study on the time and cost commitments of transitioning from laparoscopic to robotic gastric bypass (47 citations). Additionally, his "Best Practices for Robotic Surgery Programs" (40 citations) offers a framework for monitoring and evaluating surgical teams, ensuring consistent quality and safety. Through these efforts, Dr. Lyn-Sue has not only advanced the field of minimally invasive surgery but also shaped how future surgeons are trained, making robotic surgery more accessible and standardized for academic medical centers.
