Pioneering - Experienced - Respected
Areas of Specialty
Hernia Surgery
Modern hernia surgery techniques and mesh systems have evolved significantly in recent years. The risk of complications is low, and the risk of recurrence (the hernia occurring again) is less than 1%.
Thyroid Surgery (Scarless)
Modern thyroid surgery in experienced hands is one of the safest types of surgery. Dr Yew is experienced in all aspects of thyroid surgery for benign and malignant disorders.
Gallstone Disease
Gallstone disease is very common and can cause significant ill health. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (removal of the gallbladder with keyhole surgery) is the most effective and accepted management for symptomatic (e.g. pain, infection) gallstone disease.
Breast Oncoplastic Surgery
Oncoplastic breast surgery incorporates both oncologic surgery (cancer priorities) and plastic surgery (aesthetic priorities) principles to achieve optimum cancer outcomes with the best cosmetic outcome.
