He also pioneered a special technique and equipment for laparoscopic hysterectomy called the ‘Koh System for Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy’ and invented instruments for laparoscopic microsurgery. Dr Koh and his associate, Dr Grace Janik, were the first doctors in the world to perform laparoscopic microsurgical tubal anastomosis in 1992.
Dr Koh is most recently noted for his pioneering the first data proven curriculum for teaching laparoscopic suturing and knot tying entitled ‘Suturing in the Verticle Zone’. Using this technique he has instructed over 500 physicians. At the end of his one day course, approximately 90% of participants can accurately throw a suture and tie it intracorporeally in less than one minute.”
Dr Koh recently completed a term as president of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons (SLS) and currently serves as a National Advisor for the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL).
Many congratulations on a well-deserved recognition!
