Dr Mash obtained his basic medical degree from the National University of
Singapore and subsequently completed his orthopaedic training in Singapore
becoming a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. He subsequently
did further training in spinal surgery at the Royal Alexandra Hospital, University of
Alberta Hospital and the Stollery Children’s Hospital, under renowned spinal
surgeons with both orthopaedic and neurosurgical background. Upon his return to
Singapore, he was active in training resident orthopaedic surgeons to become
specialists. To date, he has performed numerous spinal surgeries including
microdiscectomies, minimally invasive decompressions, minimally invasive spinal
fusions, minimally invasive fracture fixations, scoliosis corrections, artificial disc
replacements, cervical laminoplasties, vertebroplasties, kyphoplasties, spinal tumour
surgeries, revision (re-do/repeat) spinal surgeries and sacrectomies with spinopelvic
fusions. He is well-versed in the usage of two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D)
computer aided navigation systems and uses them when required for spinal surgery
to improve surgical safety and outcome.
