International Recognition
01. President of USA-based Endourological Society
Thirty years after completing his fellowship in the USA, Michael was elected President of the Endourological Society, based in New York, in 2025. This represents the highest international leadership position in the field of urology, which encompasses surgery performed with endoscopy, laparoscopy, robotics, and focal therapy for conditions involving the kidneys, bladder, prostate, stones, and urological cancers. The Society also oversees the annual World Congress of Endourology and Uro-Technology, the largest global meeting of its kind. Michael is only the fourth urologist from Asia to be elected President since the Society’s founding in 1983.
The Singapore Urological Association, which Dr Wong once led as President (2009–2012), shared the news with its members, celebrating his appointment to the Endourological Society’s highest office.
Dear SUA members,
We are proud to announce that Dr Michael Wong has been elected on 12 September 2025 as President of the Endourological Society for the 2025–2026 term. Taking over from the position from Prof Andreas Gross (Germany), Dr Wong has placed Singapore urologists on the world map. Dr Wong assumes leadership of the Society and will preside over the World Congress of Endourology and Uro-Technology (WCET), the premier global platform for advancements in kidney stone disease, prostate disorders, robotics, and focal therapy in urology. The Congress will be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, from 9–13 November 2026.
Dr Wong’s election marks a historic milestone, as he becomes only the fourth Asian urologist outside the United States to hold this esteemed office since the Society’s founding in 1983. This recognition stands as a testament to his decades of leadership, scholarship, and clinical excellence that have shaped endourology both regionally and internationally.
His appointment comes 30 years after completion of his Endourology fellowship, coinciding with the retirement celebration of his mentor, Professor James E. Lingeman, in Phoenix, Arizona, symbolizes both the passing of a torch and the opening of a new chapter in advancing the science and practice of endourology worldwide.
Congratulations Dr Wong!
