Conditions

General Surgery

We provide comprehensive diagnostics and surgical treatments for conditions affecting the digestive tract, abdominal organs, skin, and soft tissues.

Whether you require an elective procedure or immediate attention for an acute issue, our team focuses on minimally invasive techniques to ensure a safe, smooth, and rapid recovery.

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Endoscopy

Early detection is the most powerful tool in digestive health. We provide gold standard day-surgery diagnostic procedures to evaluate the internal lining of your gastrointestinal tract, ensuring accurate diagnoses and the proper treatment needed.

Gastroscopy (OGD)

FA visual examination of your oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum. It helps investigate persistent acid reflux, upper abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, or unexplained weight loss.

Colonoscopy

A visual examination of the entire large intestine. This is the standard for colorectal cancer screening, polyps removal, and investigating chronic diarrhoea, aconstipation, or blood in your stool.

Fasting & Preparation

Both procedures require strict
fasting periods (typically no food or
drink for 6 to 8 hours prior). Colonoscopies
also require a specific bowel preparation regimen the day before to clean
the colon for a clear view.

Abdominal & Digestive Conditions

Persistent digestive issues can significantly disrupt your quality of life. We offer comprehensive surgical evaluation and management for conditions affecting the stomach, appendix, colon, rectum, small intestine, pancreas, and spleen.

Symptom Awareness: Patients often seek our expertise when experiencing persistent abdominal pain, chronic bloating, severe indigestion, unexplained nausea, or noticeable changes in bowel habits.

Conditions We Treat: Our team manages everything from acute appendicitis and diverticular disease to complex colorectal conditions and benign or malignant tumours of the digestive tract.

Gallbladder & Liver Care

Hepatobiliary conditions require precise intervention to prevent severe infection or systemic illness. We offer advanced medical and surgical solutions tailored to your specific condition.

Symptoms to Watch For: Gallbladder issues typically present as sudden, intense pain in the upper right abdomen, pain radiating to the right shoulder, jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes), or the feeling of indigestion after meals.

Minimally Invasive Solutions: We specialize in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (keyhole surgery to remove the gallbladder) and treatments for liver infections, abscesses, and bile duct issues, ensuring minimal discomfort and a rapid return to daily activities.

Hernia Repair

A hernia occurs when an internal organ pushes through a weakness in the surrounding muscle or tissue. Hernias do not heal on their own and require prompt specialist evaluation.

Types of Hernias: We routinely repair all types of abdominal and groin hernias, including inguinal (groin), femoral, umbilical (belly button), and incisional hernias (occurring at a previous surgical scar site).

Why Prompt Treatment Matters: Advanced, timely repair is necessary to prevent serious complications, such as bowel obstruction or strangulation, where the blood supply to the tissue is cut off.

Skin Lumps & Complex Wounds

Minor procedures and ongoing wound care require meticulous clinical attention to prevent infection, reduce scarring, and promote optimal cellular healing.

Skin Lump Removal: We provide removal for a wide range of benign skin growths, including lipomas, sebaceous cysts, and skin tags.

Complex Wound Management: Our team delivers specialized clinical care for slow-healing, chronic, or complex wounds, utilizing advanced dressings and tissue therapies.

When to Seek Immediate Care: Patients should seek professional medical intervention if a lump grows rapidly, becomes painful, changes color, or if a wound exhibits signs of infection like worsening redness, warmth, or foul-smelling discharge.

True surgical excellence extends far beyond the operating theatre. We provide dedicated clinical support to help patients comfortably manage post-surgical requirements at home.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What should I expect during my first general surgery consultation?

Your initial visit is a comprehensive evaluation. Our specialists will review your medical history, discuss your current symptoms, and perform a physical examination. If you have previous scan reports or blood test results, please bring them along. We will explain your treatment options, whether surgical or non-surgical, so you can make an informed decision.

Are general surgery procedures done as day surgeries, or will I need to be hospitalized?

Many common general surgery procedures—such as diagnostic endoscopies (gastroscopy and colonoscopy), hernia repairs, and skin lump removals—are performed as day surgeries. This means you can return home the same day. For more complex abdominal or cancer surgeries, a hospital stay will be required for monitoring and optimal post-operative care.

Will my surgical procedure be painful?

Your comfort is important to us. Day procedures like endoscopies are performed under sedation, meaning you will sleep through the process and feel no pain. For surgeries, we utilize general anesthesia and advanced minimally invasive (laparoscopic) techniques whenever possible, which significantly reduces post-operative pain and speeds up recovery. We will also provide a tailored pain-management plan for your recovery at home.

How long is the recovery time after a general surgery procedure?

Recovery varies depending on the type of surgery. For minor day surgeries and endoscopies, most patients return to normal light activities within 1 to 2 days. For laparoscopic abdominal surgeries, full recovery typically takes 2 to 4 weeks. Our team will provide you with specific guidelines on wound care, diet, and when you can safely return to work or exercise.

Is my surgery or endoscopy covered by insurance or MediSave?

Yes, most diagnostic and therapeutic general surgery procedures in Singapore are claimable through integrated shield plans, private corporate insurance, or MediSave. Our clinic staff will assist you with the necessary paperwork, financial counseling, and pre-authorization requests to ensure your financial process is as smooth and transparent as possible.
