About
Wan Yee Lau is a pioneering surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive robotic surgery for complex hepatopancreaticobiliary procedures. His major contributions include defining the learning curves for robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy and hemihepatectomy, demonstrating that robotic approaches can be safely adopted with appropriate training. Lau led a landmark multicentre randomized controlled trial comparing robotic versus open pancreaticoduodenectomy, showing reduced hospital stays and complications for periampullary tumours (100 citations). He also co-authored the 2023 international consensus guidelines on robotic liver resection (93 citations), establishing best practices worldwide. His work on robotic versus laparoscopic liver resection in complex cases has influenced surgical decision-making, while his studies on novel anastomotic techniques and outcomes in elderly patients have expanded the applicability of robotic surgery. With over 150 citations for his learning curve study alone, Lau’s research has shaped the adoption of robotic techniques in high-volume pancreatic centres, improving patient outcomes and training standards.
