Dr Anthony Siow

Dr Siow was awarded the Singapore Government Scholarship for Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery in Sydney, Australia where he spent a year mastering the finer aspects of Advanced Endometriosis Surgery and Pelvic Floor Reconstruction.

As Director of Minimally Invasive Surgery Centre, he spearheaded the KK Laparoscopic Fellowship Training Program, and established the KK Endometriosis Clinic. His passion for teaching Advanced Laparoscopy attracted specialists from Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and the region to train with him. He was awarded Outstanding Clinical Teacher in 2007 and appointed Visiting Professor for Laparoscopy to University of the Philippines in 2009.

Dr Siow was the first gynaecologist in Singapore to perform Single Incision Laparoscopy for womb and fibroid removal. He has done more than 500 such cases and also performed the first Single Incision Laparoscopic womb removal in Indonesia, Philippines, Cebu and Vietnam.

With regards to fibroid management, Dr Siow does not agree that every single fibroid needs to be removed in every woman. His philosophy is that every woman needs to be informed of the evidenced based facts on fibroid, provided with all the feasible treatment options and respected for the informed decisions they make.
