About

Yun Yee Leung is a pioneering researcher in the field of surgical robotics, with a focused expertise in flexible robotic systems for minimally invasive procedures. Her work primarily centers on advancing endoscopic surgery through the development of novel robotic platforms that enhance precision and dexterity in confined anatomical spaces. Leung’s major contributions include the design and validation of flexible robots capable of navigating complex pathways, as demonstrated in her highly cited 2019 paper, “Applications of Flexible Robots in Endoscopic Surgery,” which has garnered 7 citations for its comprehensive analysis of clinical potential. She also led the foundational study “Development of an Endoscopic Surgical Robotic System and From Bench to Animal Studies” (2017), bridging the gap between laboratory prototypes and preclinical validation. Through these efforts, Leung has established a framework for translating robotic innovations from bench to bedside, directly impacting the future of scarless surgery. Her work is recognized for its translational significance, offering a roadmap for safer, more effective endoscopic interventions that reduce patient trauma and recovery time.
