About
London Lucien Ooi is a prominent hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgeon and clinical researcher based in Singapore, whose work has significantly advanced the adoption of minimally invasive and robotic surgical techniques across Asia and beyond. His research focuses primarily on laparoscopic and robotic approaches to complex abdominal surgeries, including hepatectomy, distal pancreatectomy, pancreatic enucleation, and biliary reconstruction. Ooi's most influential contribution — a 400-case series on minimally invasive hepatectomy (84 citations) — helped establish a rigorous evidence base for the safety and evolving outcomes of these demanding procedures. His comparative studies between robotic-assisted and laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (64 citations) have been widely referenced in debates around surgical platform selection, while his reports on robotic pancreatic and biliary surgery in Southeast Asia positioned his institution as a regional pioneer in these technologies. Beyond outcomes reporting, Ooi has critically examined the surgeon learning curve for minimally invasive pancreatectomy, offering nuanced insights into how individual experience shapes procedural safety. With over 240 cumulative citations, his body of work reflects a sustained commitment to refining complex HPB surgery through evidence-driven innovation, making his research essential reading for surgeons navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of minimally invasive abdominal surgery.
