About
Yit Leang is a rising authority in the field of bariatric and robotic surgery, with a focused research agenda on perioperative outcomes and the clinical integration of emerging surgical technologies. His major contributions include a landmark systematic review and meta-analysis comparing robotic versus laparoscopic gastric bypass, which demonstrated critical insights into the safety and efficacy of robotic approaches in bariatric surgery—a study that has already garnered 36 citations since its 2023 publication. Leang has also pioneered the evaluation of next-generation multi-port soft tissue robotic systems, authoring a highly cited 2024 systematic review that systematically assesses the clinical outcomes of novel robotic platforms against both conventional laparoscopy and the established da Vinci system. This work is particularly notable for its timely synthesis of evidence as new robotic systems enter clinical practice, providing surgeons and hospitals with essential data for technology adoption. With his research bridging the gap between innovation and evidence-based practice, Leang is positioned as a key voice in shaping the future of minimally invasive surgery.
