About

Dr. Keng Siang Png is a urological surgeon whose research centers on robotic and laparoscopic surgical techniques, particularly for kidney and prostate cancers. His most impactful work includes a landmark meta-analysis of 4,919 patients comparing robotic versus laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, which demonstrated superior outcomes for the robotic approach in terms of reduced blood loss and shorter hospital stays. This study, cited over 180 times, has helped guide surgical decision-making worldwide. Dr. Png also conducted a systematic review of the volume–outcome relationship for radical prostatectomy, highlighting how surgeon and hospital experience directly affect patient outcomes. Additionally, his work on developing technical expertise in robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy through a proctor-based team approach offers a practical model for moderate-volume centers to achieve high-quality results. With a focus on evidence-based practice and surgical innovation, Dr. Png’s research continues to shape the field of minimally invasive urologic oncology, providing valuable insights for both clinicians and researchers seeking to improve surgical care.
