Biography

Dr. Kenneth Chok graduated from The University of Hong Kong in 1999. He has been a faculty member of the HBP team at Queen Mary Hospital since the conferment of the fellowship in 2007. He was one of the pioneers in advocating Minimally Invasive Hepatobiliary Surgery and Associating Liver Partition and Portal Vein Ligation for Staged Hepatectomy (ALPPS) in the territory.  He also was an expert on the living donor liver transplantation and complex HBP resections. He published more than 220 peer-reviewed articles in high impact journals including Annals of Surgery, British Journal of Surgery, Journal of Hepatology and Hepatology. Owing to his outstanding research and clinical performance, he was awarded Carlos Pellegrini Traveling Fellowship in 2015 from The American College of Surgeons. He obtained two postgraduate research degrees from The University of Hong Kong (Master of Surgery in 2015 and Doctor of Medicine in 2020). Apart from his excellent clinical and research work, he is committed to promoting organ donation in Hong Kong and is now the Co-Opt Council Member of the Hong Kong Society of Transplantation, a Council Member of the Hong Kong Liver Foundation, and Chairman of the Live Liver Donation Committee and a Council Member of the Hong Kong Society of HBP Surgery.
