Twenty-five years ago, robotic surgery was an experimental technology available in only a handful of centres worldwide. Today, it has become the standard approach for many urological procedures. Urologist Dr. Png Keng Siang discusses how robotics transformed urology, why the field embraced the technology before many others, and where the next generation of robotic surgery may take patient care.

A decade ago, genomic testing was largely confined to research laboratories and highly specialised medical centres. Today, a person's genome can be sequenced within weeks, and at a fraction of the original cost.

A hernia is a common medical condition that affects people of all ages, yet many individuals are unaware of its potential complications until symptoms become severe.

Dr. Jeremy Lim, co-founder of AMILI, Southeast Asia’s first precision health company focused on modifying the gut microbiome to improve human health, touches on the various ways your gut microbiome affects your health, and how it is reshaping the future of personalised medicine.

When it comes to common cancers in men, many might think about lung or colorectal cancer. But in recent years, prostate cancer cases have risen and now it sits as the most common cancer among men in Singapore, according to the Singapore Cancer Society.

Our body’s immune system is usually very good at spotting and clearing away old or damaged cells that may potentially develop into cancer, but sometimes these cells manage to stay hidden and proliferate in the body undetected.

Although hemorrhoids and colorectal cancer share some common symptoms, such as rectal bleeding and bloody stools, they are two distinct conditions that vary significantly in terms of risk and severity.

In recent years, orthopedics has seen significant advancements in robotic surgery, image guidance, and AI-based predictions. AI helps identify the best treatments, reduce complications, and improve accuracy in complex procedures when used with robotics. Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. S.S. Sathappan discusses how AI, robotics, and 3D printing are transforming the field of orthopedic surgery.
