About
Alexander Ng is a pioneering urological surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of prostate cancer treatment and surgical education. His primary research areas include salvage therapies for recurrent prostate cancer and the development of evidence-based robotic surgery training. Ng’s landmark 2021 study provided crucial comparative effectiveness data on salvage prostatectomy versus radiotherapy following focal or whole-gland ablative therapy, offering vital guidance for managing post-ablative recurrence. His most impactful contribution, however, is the 2022 VROBOT trial, which demonstrated that adjunctive interactive virtual classroom training significantly improves robotic surgery skill acquisition compared to self-directed learning alone. This work addresses a critical gap in surgical education, providing an evidence-based, standardised framework for robotic training. With over 30 citations across his key publications, Ng’s research has shaped both clinical decision-making for prostate cancer salvage therapy and the pedagogical approach to robotic surgery. His innovative integration of virtual classroom technology into surgical training has positioned him as a leader in surgical education reform, with his findings directly influencing how institutions worldwide structure their robotic surgery curricula.
