Dr Thng honed his subspecialty training in HPB surgery at the Department of Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery, Singapore General Hospital, followed by a clinical fellowship in Minimally Invasive HPB Surgery at Seoul National University Hospital, Bundang, South Korea. During this time, he also contributed to national standards as a member of the Ministry of Health (MOH) Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Clinician Workgroup. He was appointed Clinical Lead of the NUHS HPB Division, where he led the delivery and advancement of minimally invasive HPB surgery across the institution.

Areas of Expertise
* Advanced Laparoscopic Pancreatic Surgery: Proficient in laparoscopic pancreatic surgery for delicate procedures, including minimally invasive Whipple procedures (pancreaticoduodenectomy) and distal pancreatectomy, prioritised to potentially lower post-operative pain and shorten hospital stays.
* PancreaticOncology & Cyst Management: Extensive experience in pancreatic cancers and diseases, covering the management of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), and pre-cancerous cysts (e.g., IPMN). This involves targeted pancreatic surgery for cancer, cysts, and pancreatitis.
