About
Jin Yao Teo is a surgical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery and hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) medicine, with a particular focus on advancing and evaluating robotic and laparoscopic techniques for complex abdominal procedures. Teo has made meaningful contributions to understanding how emerging surgical technologies compare in both clinical outcomes and economic value, most notably through a 2024 systematic review and network meta-analysis examining the comparative cost-effectiveness of open, laparoscopic, and robotic liver resection — a rigorous study that has already garnered 36 citations, signaling its rapid uptake within the surgical community. His earlier work documented the pioneering adoption of robotic HPB surgery across multiple institutions in Singapore, offering a foundational multi-institutional perspective on how robotic platforms — prized for their enhanced dexterity, precision, stability, and visual magnification — have been integrated into regional surgical practice since the technology's emergence in the late 1980s. Together, these contributions position Teo as a researcher committed not only to technical innovation but also to the evidence-based evaluation of whether new surgical approaches deliver real-world value, making his work essential reading for surgeons and health economists navigating the evolving landscape of minimally invasive HPB surgery.
