Introduction
Dr Yeow Yuyi is a Specialist Urologist with a keen interest in minimally invasive treatments of stone disease, and endourology. Prior to his current practice, he was a Consultant in the Department of Urology at Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
He graduated from the National University of Singapore in 2008 and was elected a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 2011. He was amongst the pioneer year of residents who completed the Urology Residency Program under the National Healthcare Group (NHG) in 2017 and attained his Specialist Accreditation the same year. He successfully joined the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons (Glasgow) as a Fellow in Urology in 2017, and became a Fellow of the Academy of Medicine Singapore (FAMS) in the same year.
In 2019, he was awarded the Healthcare Manpower Development Plan (HMDP) scholarship to train under Dr Guido Giusti and Dr Silvia Proietti in San Raffaele Hospital, Milan, Italy. His main area of training was in advanced endourology and stone surgery.
During his time in Tan Tock Seng Hospital, he was amongst the pioneering team to perform supine percutaneous nephrolithotomy on a routine basis, which has the benefits of reduced anaesthetic risks and surgical duration. He also performs mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy with improved outcomes such as shorter hospitalization, post operative recovery, and less blood loss due to its minimally invasive nature. Dr Yeow was instrumental in reducing the hospitalization duration for patients undergoing complex stone surgery, and even allowed for some procedures to be done as day surgery with patients discharging home the same day.
His areas of interest in Urology are Endourology and Minimally Invasive Surgery/Laparoscopy for benign and malignant conditions, including kidney, bladder, and prostate conditions. He is also a Visiting Consultant to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital for his expertise in complex stone surgery and laparoscopic management of peritoneal dialysis catheters.
He is currently a Clinical Lecturer at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine and a Clinical Teacher with the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine. He plays an active role in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education and is currently the Programme Director for the NHG Urology Residency Program. He has consistently received excellent ratings and feedback from students and learners. For excellence in education, he received the National Healthcare Group Teaching Award in 2017.
He has published numerous journal articles as well as book chapters in urology, and is a reviewer for the European Urology Open Science journal.
