Over the weekend, Dr Tan Yung Khan attended the “Lessons for Life: Cancer Care Conversations” public talk organized by Parkway Cancer Centre and Mount Elizabeth Hospital.

It was heartening to see 400 guests invested in their health. As we live longer, leading a better lifestyle becomes essential. Dr Tan addressed prostate cancer as a rising and silent threat, a crucial reminder for men to stay vigilant. Thank you to the organizers for this meaningful dialogue on cancer care. #prostatecancerawareness #urohealthmedicalclinic

Over the weekend, Dr Nathaniel Heah was in Taipei as proctor for the Advanced UroLift Course, sharing his experience and teaching doctors from Taipei and Hong Kong some of the finer technical points of the UroLift procedure. #urolift #bph #urology #singpapore #urohealthmedicalclinic

At our clinic, learning goes beyond doctors. We believe our nurses deserve the best exposure too. Here’s Denise’s, our nurse and clinic manager, experience from her recent overseas training in London.

Denise’s sharing:
This experience deepened my understanding of nurse-led pathways in prostate cancer and benign urology, strengthening my confidence in managing patients and improving outcomes. I gained insights into conditions like urolithiasis, LUTS, continence issues, and urosepsis, while reinforcing the importance of evidence-based care and lifestyle factors. Exposure to urology services at Guy’s Hospital also provided valuable practical context, enhancing my ability to deliver holistic, patient-centred care. #eau #urology #singapore #urohealthmedicalclinic

Advancing Circumcision Care with Shang Ring Certification

Dr Nathaniel Heah recently travelled to Kunming to complete his certification in the use of the Shang Ring — an innovative, minimally invasive alternative to conventional surgical circumcision.

The Shang Ring utilizes a suture-free “clamp and collar” design, allowing the procedure to be safely performed in a clinic setting under local anaesthesia or light sedation, without the need for a full operating theatre.

The device gently secures the foreskin in place to facilitate natural healing, eliminating the need for stitches. Patients typically wear the ring for 7 to 10 days, after which it is removed during a quick follow-up visit.

This technique offers a predictable, blood-sparing option with excellent cosmetic outcomes, enhancing both patient comfort and recovery experience.

At Urohealth, we remain committed to adopting evidence-based innovations and continuously upgrading our expertise to provide the best care for our patients.
