Senior Consultant Surgeon with more than 25 years of experience in hepatobiliary and upper gastrointestinal surgery, specialising in keyhole (minimally invasive) gallbladder and gallstone surgery.
Dr Kan Yuk Man is the Director and Founder of KYM Surgery, a specialist surgical practice in Singapore covering upper gastrointestinal, bariatric, cancer and gallbladder surgery. He trained in the United Kingdom, with further training in Japan and Australia, and has extensive experience in both simple and complex gallbladder surgery, including emergency cases.
He performs both keyhole gallbladder surgery and ERCP, an endoscopic procedure to remove stones from the bile duct, so patients with bile duct stones can have both treatments planned by the same surgeon.
He uses minimally invasive (keyhole) techniques wherever possible, which means smaller scars, less pain and a faster return to normal activities for most patients. His experience also extends to liver and pancreas surgery.
Cholecystitis, including urgent cases, and gallstone pancreatitis.
Gallbladder polyps, and bile duct stones removed by ERCP or during surgery.
KYM Surgery also treats hernias, acid reflux, sweaty palms and gastrointestinal cancers.
