About

Dr. Yoke Fai Fong is a pioneering gynaecologic surgeon and researcher whose work has advanced the field of minimally invasive surgery, particularly in the treatment of gynaecologic cancers. His primary research areas include robotic-assisted surgery, laparoscopic techniques, and the development of surgical protocols for complex gynaecologic conditions. Dr. Fong is best known for his leadership in the Gynaecologic Robot-Assisted Cancer and Endoscopic Surgery (GRACES) program, which he established at a tertiary referral centre. His landmark 2011 paper, detailing the first 40 cases of robotic-assisted gynaecologic surgery at his institution, has garnered 17 citations and remains a foundational reference for surgeons adopting robotic platforms. This work demonstrated that robotic surgery offers the benefits of laparoscopy—such as reduced recovery times and lower complication rates—while overcoming limitations in dexterity and precision. Dr. Fong’s contributions have directly influenced the adoption of robotic techniques in gynaecologic oncology, improving patient outcomes and expanding access to advanced surgical care. His ongoing commitment to surgical innovation and education continues to shape the next generation of minimally invasive gynaecologic surgeons.
