Prince Court Medical Centre Performs Malaysia’s First Kelly Procedure
20 Aug 2025
On 11 August, Prince Court Medical Centre placed Malaysia firmly on the global medical tourism map by successfully performing the country’s first Kelly procedure, an advanced reconstructive surgery for rare congenital urological conditions.

 

A two-year-old boy from Indonesia underwent the pioneering surgery, jointly led by Dr. Roger Anthony Idi, Consultant Urologist at Prince Court, and Professor Imran Mushtaq, a world-renowned paediatric urologist recognised internationally for his expertise in complex reconstructive surgery for rare congenital conditions.

Bladder exstrophy, which affects about one in 40,000 newborns, occurs when the bladder develops outside the body. The Kelly procedure reconstructs the bladder neck using the child’s own muscle and soft tissue to create a new functional sphincter, improving bladder capacity and enabling controlled urination.
 
According to Dr. Shuba Srinivasan, Chief Executive Officer of Prince Court Medical Centre: “This milestone showcases Prince Court’s ability to deliver highly specialised procedures for all our patients. It reflects our commitment to providing world-class surgical care within the region, upholding the highest international standards, and strengthening our role as a destination of choice for advanced healthcare.”

With this successful surgery, Prince Court Medical Centre reinforces its position as a regional hub for complex urology and a leader in advanced multi-specialty care. Combining exceptional surgical capabilities with the quality, access, and personalised care that have made Malaysia one of Asia’s top medical tourism destinations, Prince Court continues to attract patients from across the region seeking excellence across a broad spectrum of medical services.
