About

Dr. Nga-yee Lam is a pioneering urological surgeon whose work has advanced the adoption and refinement of robot-assisted surgery in Hong Kong. Her primary research focuses on minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP), and their clinical outcomes. Dr. Lam’s landmark study, “Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy in Hong Kong: A Review of 235 Cases” (2011), provided the first comprehensive evaluation of RALP within the public healthcare system, demonstrating its safety, efficacy, and oncological outcomes. This work, cited 22 times, established a benchmark for robotic surgery in the region and guided subsequent clinical protocols. Her contributions have been instrumental in demonstrating that robot-assisted techniques can be successfully implemented in a public health setting, improving patient recovery and surgical precision. Dr. Lam’s research has not only shaped urological practice in Hong Kong but also contributed to the global evidence base for robotic prostatectomy, making her a key figure in the advancement of minimally invasive urological surgery.
