About
Dr. Lau Wan Yee is a leading figure in minimally invasive pancreatic surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic and laparoscopic approaches for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Her major contribution lies in rigorously comparing the short- and mid-term outcomes of robotic versus laparoscopic distal pancreatosplenectomy (DPS), a procedure critical for treating PDAC. In her highly cited 2018 study, which has garnered 40 citations, Dr. Lau demonstrated that robotic DPS offers significant short-term benefits over its laparoscopic counterpart, addressing the ongoing controversy surrounding the adoption of minimally invasive techniques for PDAC. This work has helped clarify the role of robotic surgery in improving patient recovery while maintaining oncologic efficacy. Dr. Lau’s research is instrumental in guiding surgeons toward evidence-based decisions, ultimately advancing the field of pancreatic oncology and enhancing surgical outcomes for patients with this challenging disease.
