Dr. Kan Yuk Man

Dr Kan is a senior consultant surgeon who has an expertise in Upper Gastrointestinal, Bariatric and Surgical Oncology with a focus specifically on minimally invasive/keyhole surgery (MIS). With fellowships in Tokyo, Hong Kong and Brisbane, he gained hands-on experience at world-renowned centres for keyhole surgery for cancer. He remains at the forefront of surgical oncology and he is one of a few surgeons in this region who can successful use this keyhole approach for stomach and oesophageal cancers. This technique, though surgically very challenging with the need for significantly advance surgical skills, has led to a much faster recovery time, less lung complications (reduction of 30-40% risk of pneumonia), less pain and far fewer complications for all the patients operated this way.
