In 2010 he went on a fellowship with the Neurosurgical Department in Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge, headed by Professor John Pickard. There he spent a year training under one of UK's top spinal surgeons, Mr Rodney Laing. After his success in the fellowship examinations (FRCSEd Neuro.surg), he returned to work in Khoo Teck Puat Hospital as a consultant neurosurgeon in the Department of Surgery, where, as the first neurosurgical spine consultant, was pivotal in setting up the combined spine service in Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.

Dr Koh has the expertise to manage a wide variety of neurosurgical and spinal problems. His interests lie in minimally invasive (keyhole) spine surgeries for treatment of spinal tumors as well as degenerative and trauma related spinal problems. Dr Koh performed Singapore's first minimally invasive removal of a spinal tumor, as well as other spine surgeries, from simple discectomies, laminectomies, TLIF (transforamina lumbar interbody fusion), cervical fusion and disc replacements to complex scoliosis and deformity corrective surgeries and resection of spine tumors. He is also trained in managing neuro-oncologic and neurovascular pathologies, performing microsurgical revascularization for stroke patients, clipping of cerebral aneurysms, excision of brain tumors, evacuation of intracranial hemorrhages, skull base surgeries and more. His repertoire of procedures include minimal access neurosurgery, using endoscope and needlescope, for conditions such as pituitary tumors and sympathectomy for palmar hyperhydrosis. He is also trained in the use of Gamma knife radiosurgery for cerebral metastasis, vascular malformations and trigeminal neuralgias.

Dr Koh is a visiting consultant and educator at Khoo Teck Puat hospital and National University Hospital and is an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine.
