About
Dr. Stephanie Yee is a surgeon-scientist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex foregut and hiatal hernia repairs. Her most-cited work, a 2021 comparative analysis of robotic hiatal hernia repairs with and without Collis gastroplasty, addresses a critical challenge in esophageal surgery: achieving adequate intra-abdominal esophageal length to prevent hernia recurrence. Dr. Yee’s study provides evidence-based insights into the trade-offs of Collis gastroplasty, weighing its benefits in reducing axial tension against risks such as staple line leak and long-term heartburn symptoms. With her work cited in key surgical journals, she has contributed to refining robotic approaches that improve patient outcomes while minimizing complications. Her research is particularly impactful for surgeons navigating the delicate balance between durable repair and quality of life, offering data-driven guidance for high-risk cases. Dr. Yee’s dedication to rigorous comparative analysis underscores her role in shaping modern foregut surgery, making her a valuable voice for trainees and peers seeking to optimize robotic hernia repair techniques.
