About

Dr. Kar Mun Ang is a distinguished urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical techniques for prostate cancer treatment, with a particular focus on improving postoperative quality of life. Her most impactful contribution is the development and validation of the Retzius-sparing technique in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, which has been shown to independently predict early recovery of urinary continence. This landmark 2022 study, with 12 citations, represents a significant step forward in reducing one of the most common and distressing side effects of prostate cancer surgery. Dr. Ang’s research bridges the gap between surgical innovation and patient-centered outcomes, demonstrating that meticulous anatomical preservation can dramatically enhance functional recovery without compromising oncological control. Her work has been recognized as a key advancement in minimally invasive urologic oncology, influencing surgical protocols and training programs. By systematically proving that the Retzius-sparing approach leads to faster continence return, she has provided surgeons with an evidence-based strategy to improve patients’ early postoperative experience. Dr. Ang continues to refine these techniques, contributing to a growing body of literature that prioritizes both cancer eradication and quality of life in prostate cancer management.
