Kelvin Lau

Mr Kelvin Lau is Clinical Director and consultant thoracic surgeon at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London. He was appointed the first consultant thoracic surgeon at St Bartholomew’s Hospital to set up the thoracic surgery service. He introduced minimally invasive lung resection and then with his team established the largest robotic thoracic surgery programme in the UK with 2 thoracic robotic surgery theatres every day, enabling them to achieve the highest minimally invasive and segmentectomy rates.  He also established the first image-guided navigation bronchoscopy programme in Europe using cone beam CT, and in 2018 he performed the first lung tumour destruction through bronchosopic microwave ablation. His interests are in innovation and endoluminal approaches. He is principal investigator for NAVIGATE, NAVABLATE, MARS2 , ISI-Ion-EU1 and AURORA trials.
