About
Dr. Tze Kiat Ng is a pioneering urological surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive prostate cancer surgery, particularly through robotic-assisted techniques. His major contributions focus on refining the total extraperitoneal (TEP) approach for robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP), demonstrating that this procedure can be safely performed in an ambulatory setting with extended recovery—a paradigm shift that reduces hospital stays and healthcare costs. His 2021 study on ambulatory RARP, which has garnered 8 citations, established the feasibility of same-day discharge for select low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients. Additionally, his 2020 work, with 2 citations, provides a critical step-by-step protocol for performing TEP-RARP in patients with prior major abdominal surgeries—a group traditionally considered high-risk for conventional approaches due to intra-abdominal adhesions. By systematically addressing these surgical challenges, Dr. Ng has expanded the eligibility for minimally invasive prostatectomy, reducing risks of visceral injury and post-operative ileus. His work represents a significant advance in urological oncology, offering safer, more accessible surgical options for complex patient populations.
