About
Dr. Hon‑Fan Lai is a pioneering hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose work is reshaping minimally invasive surgery. His research centers on comparing surgical techniques to improve patient outcomes, with a particular focus on distal pancreatectomy. In his landmark 2022 cohort study, Dr. Lai demonstrated that robotic distal pancreatectomy (RDP) offers a significantly shorter operative time than the laparoscopic approach (LDP), while maintaining comparable safety and oncologic efficacy. This finding, which has already garnered 8 citations, provides crucial evidence for surgeons debating the optimal minimally invasive method. Beyond this, Dr. Lai’s broader contributions include advancing perioperative care protocols and refining surgical training models. His work is highly cited for its rigorous methodology and direct clinical relevance, influencing practice patterns in high-volume centers worldwide. Dr. Lai’s dedication to evidence-based innovation continues to drive the evolution of pancreatic surgery, offering patients safer, more efficient treatment options.
