Experience
Dr Aneez D.B. Ahmed is cardiothoracic surgeon at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, Singapore.
Dr Aneez's principal subspecialties are thoracic oncology and robotic thoracic surgery. His clinical expertise encompasses lung cancer and oesophageal cancer, thymoma, thymic carcinoma, pulmonary nodules, pleural effusion, pneumothorax and tracheal tumours. His surgical practice includes video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), robotic lung and mediastinal surgery, and complex chest wall reconstruction.
Dr Aneez completed his cardiothoracic surgical training at the National University Hospital before obtaining fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
Prior to private practice, he served as head of thoracic surgery at Tan Tock Seng Hospital, where he led the development of thoracic surgical services and advanced minimally invasive thoracic surgery.
Driven by his passion for robotic surgery, Dr Aneez became the first surgeon in the ASEAN region to receive Level III Specialist Certification in Robotic Thoracic Surgery from the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS). He subsequently underwent advanced robotic thoracic surgery training in Europe and the United States and today leads robotic thoracic surgery training programmes for surgeons across ASEAN and South Asia.
Dr Aneez is recognised internationally for advancing robotic thoracic surgery and chest wall reconstruction. He pioneered chest wall resection and reconstruction in Singapore and performed the world's first 3D-printed polymer rib cage reconstruction, demonstrating his commitment to surgical innovation.
He served as president of the Robotic Surgical Society of Singapore (RS3) and is currently general secretary of the South East Asian Society of Thoracic Surgery (SEATS), while also serving on the Thoracic Domain Board of the Asian Society of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery (ASCVTS).
He is frequently invited to lecture internationally on robotic thoracic surgery and receives referrals from across Singapore and the region for complex thoracic conditions. Beyond clinical practice, he established the Advanced Thoracic Nursing Course (ATNC), which continues to train thoracic nurses throughout Asia, and serves as an examiner for the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
