About

Dr. Chong Beng Ng is a pioneering thoracic surgeon and researcher at the forefront of minimally invasive robotic surgery. His work centers on advancing uniportal and trans-subxiphoid robotic techniques to reduce surgical trauma and improve patient outcomes in thoracic oncology and mediastinal disease. Dr. Ng’s major contributions include leading the first pilot trial on subcostal uniportal robotic anatomic lung resection using the da Vinci SP system, demonstrating the feasibility and safety of this single-port approach for lung cancer surgery (2024, 17 citations). He also pioneered the single-port robotic trans-subxiphoid approach for anterior mediastinal disease, addressing the technical challenges that have limited adoption of this method (2024, 2 citations). Most notably, Dr. Ng introduced the first robotic trans-subxiphoid excision of an ectopic mediastinal parathyroid gland, a technically demanding procedure that avoids traditional cervical or thoracic incisions (2025, 1 citation). His innovative work is reshaping the landscape of thoracic surgery, offering patients less invasive options with faster recovery. Dr. Ng’s research continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in robotic-assisted thoracic surgery, establishing him as a leader in the field.
