About
Dr. Yao‐Lung Kuo is a leading breast surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for breast cancer treatment, particularly nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) and reconstruction. His major contribution lies in rigorously comparing robotic-assisted and endoscopic-assisted NSM against conventional open surgery, demonstrating that these innovative approaches achieve comparable oncological safety while offering superior cosmetic outcomes, reduced complications, and shorter hospital stays. His landmark 2023 study, with 54 citations, provides critical evidence that robotic and endoscopic NSM can be performed with lower medical costs and better patient-reported satisfaction than traditional methods. Dr. Kuo’s work is instrumental in shifting clinical practice toward less invasive, more patient-centered breast cancer surgery. By systematically evaluating both clinical outcomes and economic factors, he has helped establish robotic and endoscopic NSM as viable, high-value alternatives, directly impacting surgical decision-making and quality of life for breast cancer patients worldwide.
