About

Dr Kang Yong Chiang treats the full spectrum of hand and wrist conditions in both adults and children, including pain, numbness, and injuries. He is highly skilled in using non-invasive ultrasound for precise diagnosis and employs minimally invasive “keyhole” endoscopic and arthroscopic surgical techniques to achieve faster post-operative recovery.

One of the few super-microsurgeons in Southeast Asia, Dr Kang specialises in trauma and complex reconstruction – restoring function to severely injured limbs. He holds a Master’s degree in Reconstructive Microsurgery, a qualification attained by only a select group of surgeons worldwide. As a recognised expert in his field, he is a regular panelist at international microsurgery forums and provides expert guidance to surgeons globally on challenging clinical cases.

Before moving to private practice, Dr Kang served as Senior Consultant at Singapore General Hospital (SGH) – consistently ranked among the top hospitals worldwide. In addition, he was Clinical Assistant Professor at local medical schools, Associate Program Director for specialist training, and Fellowship Director for international surgeons. Today, he continues to contribute as a Visiting Consultant to SGH and KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital.

Dr Kang is also an innovator in surgical techniques, having developed several procedures, including Eponychial Digital Artery Perforator Flap, Thenar Crease Skin Graft, Lateral Plating of Middle Phalanx Fractures, Simultaneous Bilateral Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release.

With his unique blend of clinical expertise, teaching experience, and surgical innovation, Dr Kang remains committed to delivering world-class hand and wrist care to his patients.
