He was accepted into the advanced training program for general surgery before commencing training in urology in 2002. He spent a year of his urologic training at the renowned Royal Prince Alfred (RPA) hospital in Sydney before returning to Queensland to complete his training. He was awarded his specialist qualification, FRACS (Urology), in 2005.
He received extensive training in open and laparoscopic surgeries in urologic cancers and was routinely performing laparoscopic (keyhole) surgeries for prostate cancers prior to transitioning to DaVinci robotic surgery in 2010. He undertook a certified training course in da Vinci robotic surgery at the Global Robotics Institute in Florida, USA, prior to helping set up the da Vinci robotics program at the Wesley Hospital in 2010.
With over 10 years of experience in da Vinci robotic surgery and almost 1500 cases as the primary surgeon and proctor to urologists and trainees, Dr Kua is now one of the most experienced da Vinci robotic surgeons in the country. Dr Kua teaches Bond University medical students and helped establish Wesley Private Hospital’s urology multi-disciplinary team meeting in which he regularly attends to discuss complex urologic oncology cases. He has published multiple articles in peer-reviewed journals in collaboration with his peers.
Dr Kua is highly experienced in treating:
• Prostate brachytherapy for prostate cancer
• Prostate Nanoknife (ie. irreversible electroporation)
• Erectile dysfunction and stress urinary incontinence
• Penile prosthesis
Dr Kua’s ultimate goal is for men not to be left with disabilities that negatively impact their quality of life following successful prostate cancer treatment.
