Dr Chou Ning
Dr Chou Ning had served the public sector for more than two decades as a Senior Consultant NeuroSurgeon. He has accumulated vast experience in neurotrauma, vascular neurosurgery, tumor surgery, skull base surgery, paediatric neurosurgery, pituitary surgery and spinal surgery. He is well conversant with both cranial and spinal surgery.
He now brings his neurosurgical experience to practice in both Farrer Park Hospital, Singapore and Gleneagles Hospital, Singapore.
Dr Chou Ning had spent three years from 1994 to 1997 at the Royal London Hospital, Whitechapel, UK. Dr Chou Ning was sent by the Ministry of Health, when he was awarded the Human Manpower Development Planning for Neurosurgery.
He had trained at the Royal London Hospital under Dr Tom King who pioneered the Translabrinthine Approach for Acoustic Neuroma. Dr Chou Ning was the last registrar to train under Dr Tom King. Dr Tom King was trained under the master neurosurgeon, Northfields.
Between 1994 to 1997, Dr Chou Ning also trained under eminent master NeuroSurgeons like Dr Afshar who would routinely complete a transphenoidal resection of Pituitary Tumor under an operative time of an hour.
Upon his return to Singapore, Dr Chou Ning was soon appointed as Head of the NeuroSurgical unit at the National University of Singapore. Over a span of more than two decades, Dr Chou Ning developed the NeuroSurgical unit from an operative case load of 250 cases per year to about 1000 operative cases per year.
Dr Chou Ning was particularly interested in neurosurgical microvascular techniques. As a result, Dr Chou Ning organised numerous international training cadaveric courses with eminent speakers like Prof Rhoton, USA and Prof Rodney Lang, Addenbrookes, Cambridge, UK and Prof Axel Perneczky, Johannes Gutternburg University, Mainz, Germany.
