About

Yvette Chong is a leading surgical researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery, with a particular focus on comparing robotic and laparoscopic techniques for complex liver resections. Her major contributions include co-authoring landmark international multicenter studies that provide robust, propensity score-matched evidence on the safety and efficacy of robotic versus laparoscopic approaches. Her 2022 study on robotic versus laparoscopic left and extended left hepatectomy, which has garnered 57 citations, is among the most influential in the field, demonstrating critical insights into perioperative outcomes and oncologic adequacy. Similarly, her analysis of robotic versus laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy, with 38 citations, has helped shape clinical decision-making for these challenging procedures. Through these high-impact collaborative works, Chong has established herself as a key voice in the ongoing debate over optimal surgical approaches, offering data-driven guidance to surgeons worldwide. Her research not only advances technical knowledge but also directly informs patient care, making her a respected figure in hepatobiliary surgery.
