About
Dr. Hon‐Ting Lok is a pioneering hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic-assisted procedures. His major contributions lie in systematically comparing robotic, laparoscopic, and open approaches for complex liver and pancreatic surgeries. Notably, his 2019 study on the difficulty scoring system for robotic versus laparoscopic hepatectomy (78 citations) provides a critical framework for surgical decision-making. His propensity score-matched study comparing robotic versus open hemihepatectomy (39 citations) demonstrates superior outcomes with robotic techniques. Dr. Lok also made significant strides in managing complicated biliary stone disease through robot-assisted procedures, representing a major advancement in endoscopic management. His work on minimally invasive liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (7 citations) and robotic distal pancreatectomy with splenic preservation (3 citations) further underscores his commitment to refining surgical approaches. Through these studies, Dr. Lok has established himself as a leading voice in robotic hepatobiliary surgery, helping to define best practices and improve patient outcomes in this rapidly evolving field.
