About
Dr. TB Lam is a leading health services researcher whose work centers on surgical outcomes, health technology assessment, and the cost-effectiveness of advanced surgical interventions. Dr. Lam is best known for a landmark 2012 systematic review and economic modelling study comparing laparoscopic and robotic surgery for radical prostatectomy in men with localised prostate cancer. This highly influential paper, cited over 250 times, provided critical evidence on the relative clinical benefits and cost-effectiveness of these minimally invasive approaches, directly informing clinical guidelines and healthcare policy decisions. By rigorously evaluating operative safety, patient outcomes, and economic implications, Dr. Lam’s research has helped shape the adoption of robotic surgery in urology. Their work exemplifies the integration of clinical evidence with health economics, offering a model for assessing emerging surgical technologies. Dr. Lam’s contributions are essential reading for researchers and clinicians navigating the complex trade-offs between innovation, patient benefit, and healthcare costs.
