Dr Steffi Kar Kei Yuen, MBBS (HK), FRCSEd (Urol), FCSHK, FHKAM (Surgery)
Dr Steffi Yuen has been appointed as the first Li Shu Fan International Professor by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh for her global collaborative research on the latest cutting-edge technology in endourology. Through the initiative of the Global FLEXible Ureteroscopy Outcomes Registry—focusing on flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheaths (FLEXOR-FANS), she unites the global endourology community in generating prospective real‑world data on suction-based technology. She aims to refine patient selection, optimize practice and technique, and evaluate real-world efficacy and safety across diverse clinical settings with the latest suction-based urolithiasis treatment.
A specialist in endourology and minimally invasive surgery, she is passionate about the clinical integration of cutting-edge technologies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, including next-generation ureteroscopes, intelligent intrarenal pressure, temperature and fluid management platforms, and novel robotic retrograde intrarenal surgery/ percutaneous nephrolithotomy and laser systems. She was the architect of her hospital’s comprehensive lower urinary tract symptoms/ benign prostatic hyperplasia pathway, encompassing the full spectrum of minimally invasive surgical therapies.
Globally engaged, Dr Yuen is an SIU Innovator and Vice-Chair of the International Alliance of Urolithiasis Youth Committee. She also holds roles including associate member of the EAU Endourology research and publication working group, Asian Urological Surgery Training and Education Group, and Asian Urological Society of Endoluminal Surgery and Technology, driving innovation, education, and international collaboration in urology.
