About
Dr. Linda Ye is a leading surgical outcomes researcher whose work centers on evaluating the comparative effectiveness and cost-efficiency of robotic-assisted surgery in general surgery. Her major contributions lie in providing rigorous, evidence-based assessments of robotic approaches against traditional laparoscopic and open techniques. Through a series of landmark systematic reviews, Dr. Ye has critically examined procedures including esophagectomy, cholecystectomy, and ventral and inguinal hernia repairs. Her most cited work, a 2021 meta-analysis comparing robot-assisted, video-assisted, and open esophagectomy for esophageal cancer (90 citations), has been instrumental in guiding clinical decision-making for this complex operation. Further demonstrating her impact, her systematic review on robot-assisted cholecystectomy (67 citations) and her analysis of robotic ventral hernia repair outcomes and costs (44 citations) have directly informed surgical practice and policy. By consistently integrating clinical outcomes with cost data, Dr. Ye’s research provides a comprehensive framework for evaluating the true value of robotic surgery, making her a pivotal voice in the ongoing debate over technology adoption in general surgery.
