About

Professor Albert Chan is a leading figure in hepatobiliary and pancreatic (HPB) surgery, with a focus on advancing minimally invasive and robotic techniques. His research addresses critical challenges in liver transplantation across Asia, where cultural and economic factors limit deceased donor programs. His highly cited 2020 paper (96 citations) provides a comprehensive analysis of this landscape, highlighting the region's reliance on living donor transplantation. Chan has been instrumental in shaping global surgical standards, serving as a key contributor to the 2024 Paris Jury-Based Consensus Conference (52 citations), which established the first safety and indications guidelines for robotic HPB surgery. He also led a 2021 survey of world experts (28 citations) to standardize minimally invasive anatomic liver resections, a technically demanding procedure. Through these contributions, Chan has not only advanced surgical innovation but also provided critical frameworks for training and future research, solidifying his reputation as a transformative force in HPB surgery.
