About

Stephen Shei‐Dei Yang is a leading figure in the advancement of robotic surgery, with a research focus on comparative effectiveness, pediatric urology, and surgical education. His major contributions include landmark meta-analyses that have shaped clinical practice, such as his 2015 study comparing robotic-assisted versus open pyeloplasty in children (39 citations), which provided critical evidence on safety and efficacy for pediatric populations. Yang also led an updated network meta-analysis on sacrocolpopexy techniques for pelvic organ prolapse (22 citations), offering comprehensive insights into open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches. Beyond clinical outcomes, he is a driving force in surgical training, co-authoring the 2024 Society of Thoracic Surgeons expert consensus on a standardized national robotic curriculum for thoracic trainees (22 citations) and conducting a national needs assessment of robotic surgery in thoracic programs (10 citations). His work bridges the gap between innovation and education, ensuring that the next generation of surgeons is equipped with rigorous, evidence-based training. With a career dedicated to improving patient outcomes through technology and structured learning, Yang’s research continues to influence both operating rooms and classrooms.
