She honed her subspeciality surgical skills in various institutions around the world, including an advanced oncoplastic breast surgery fellowship with the Fiona Stanley and Fremantle Hospital Group, Australia, through the Health Manpower Development Plan scholarship; a breast surgery international visiting scholars programme with Asan Medical Center in South Korea; surgical observerships with Seoul National University Hospital, South Korea; Samsung Medical Center in South Korea; Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan; and The Queen Sirikit Centre for Breast Cancer of King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital in Thailand.
Dr Ngaserin is one of the few surgeons in Singapore and the world, formally trained in oncoplastic breast surgery and minimally invasive endoscopic breast surgery – techniques that eradicate disease while remaining sensitive to our patients’ desires for aesthetic surgical solutions.
She was the founding programme director of the advanced breast surgery fellowship programme (oncoplastic and minimally invasive breast surgery) at her prior institution, and remains an active live surgical operator, with a special interest in minimally invasive breast surgical demonstration and training. She spearheaded the development of minimally invasive breast surgery (MIBS) in Singapore, and was the founding director of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Minimally Invasive Breast Surgery Symposium Singapore, which also involves live surgical demonstrations and cadaveric workshops.
Dr Ngaserin has authored textbook chapters in MIBS, and represented SingHealth in overseas collaboration as steering committee for the clinical pillar of robotic surgery. Over the years, she has demonstrated her MIBS technique in live surgery for specialist breast surgeons in Singapore and the region.
Besides her clinical work, she is an assistant professor at Duke-NUS Medical School and assistant professor at Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine.
She has published scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals and is a reviewer for several scientific journals in breast surgery, minimally invasive surgery and surgical innovations. She is a regular local, regional and international speaker. As participant, panellist, invited faculty or organising committee member, she presents her surgical and scientific work regularly in conferences and meetings around the world.
