His subspecialty includes cystocele mesh repair surgery, laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery, prolapse, incontinence and pelvic floor reconstruction surgery, surgery using the Tension-free Vaginal Tape (TVT) sling procedure, and vaginal rejuvenation (vaginoplasty).

Dr Chong introduced the use of the mesh in the treatment of severe utero-vaginal prolapse and was one of the earliest in Asia to perform the sling surgeries and Botox injections into the bladder for management of overactive bladder (urgency, frequency, urge incontinence). Since his first sling surgery in 1998, together with his colleague, they have performed more than 10,000 cases and have more than 90% success rates with minimal complications and minimal pain. He is a trainer for gynaecologists, urogynaecologists and urologists in Asia in these surgeries.

Dr Chong’s expertise includes the treatment of female genital cancer, female sexual dysfunction, heavy periods, infertility, menopause, menstrual cramps, ovarian cysts, prolapses of the womb, bladder and bowel, sub-fertility, urinary incontinence, urinary tract infections, uterine fibroids, and vaginal discharges and infections. He also performs women’s health screenings and colposcopy.
