Dr. Koh specializes in advanced laparoscopic surgery and has
created many innovations and techniques to further the field. He lectures and performs
demonstration surgeries around the world at international meetings and courses. He holds
patents for a laparoscopic hysterectomy technique "Simplifying Total
Laparoscopic Hysterectomy" (U.S. patent #5520698, May 28, 1996) and a device
for aiding the operation "KOH Colpotomizer Pneumo occluder"
"Vaginal Extender for Colpotomy" (U.S. Patent #5643285, July 1,
1997). Dr. Koh also designed the "KOH Ultramicro Instruments) used
for laparoscopic microsurgery which remain the only set of instruments for that purpose in
the world today. This has allowed tubal reversal to be performed laparoscopically and its
use has been adopted in pediatric laparoscopy, general surgery, and vascular surgery.
