About
Dr. Si-ke Lai is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in radical prostatectomy. His major contribution lies in systematically evaluating the efficacy and safety of barbed sutures—a knotless innovation that streamlines complex procedures. In his landmark 2017 meta-analysis, Dr. Lai synthesized early evidence to demonstrate that barbed sutures reduce operative time without compromising patient outcomes, offering surgeons a practical tool for improving precision in prostate cancer surgery. This work, cited 19 times, has helped shape clinical guidelines for robotic-assisted procedures. Beyond this, Dr. Lai’s research portfolio reflects a commitment to evidence-based surgery, with studies that bridge technical innovation and patient safety. His analyses have empowered surgeons to adopt new suturing methods with confidence, ultimately enhancing recovery for men undergoing prostatectomy. By rigorously testing emerging technologies, Dr. Lai continues to influence the evolution of urologic oncology, making surgery safer and more efficient for patients worldwide.
