GROUP SURGICAL PRACTICE | MOUNT ELIZABETH MEDICAL CENTRE | GLENEAGLES MEDICAL CENTRE | MIDDLE EAST LIAISON OFFICE

Susan Lim Group Surgical Practice is a multi-disciplinary specialist surgical Centre located at both the Mount Elizabeth and Gleneagles Medical Centres, the 2 premier hospitals under the Parkway Group Healthcare.

The focus of the Practice is on providing patients with the highest quality of medical and surgical care leveraging the latest diagnostic and therapeutic technologies and maintaining high standards of professional integrity.

The Group Surgical Practice focuses on minimally invasive surgery, advanced laparoscopic surgery, robotic surgery, oncologic (cancer) surgery, breast screening and surgery, surgical and non-invasive procedures for weight management, plastic and cosmetic surgery, and urology. Each of these areas is headed by specialist surgeons utilizing new technologies to diagnosis and deliver the latest in treatments to our patients.

The Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery division focuses on providing keyhole surgeries for abdominal adhesions, abdominal tumours and malignancies involving the pancreas, liver, intestines, colon and other organs. Most recently the Group has also pioneered the NOTES procedure (Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery), an incisionless way of performing surgery using only natural orifices for surgical access. The aim of the Division is to offer patients a minimal access solution to a wide range of surgical conditions, facilitating a rapid recovery and minimizing scars.

In the area of robotic surgery the Group has pioneered the general surgery program for Singapore using the Da Vinci surgical system. The Team has also pioneered the first robotic hysterectomy and myomectomy for Singapore. Its urology division embraces robotic technology and the Green Laser for the surgical management of prostatic diseases and cancer.

Breast Screening & Surgery remains the main focus of the Group’s women’s division. Here, the key emphasis is on possible prevention of invasive breast cancer through regular screening, using the latest technology in ultrasound imaging, digital mammography and magnetic resonance imaging. Minimally invasive surgical procedures are used where appropriate and the surgical approach to the breast focuses both on safety as well as aesthetics. Our plastic surgical division offers a one-stop treatment for breast reconstruction following surgery for cancer. In addition, it also offers the full range of breast aesthetic procedures including breast lifts, augmentation and reduction.

Most recently, Susan Lim Group Surgical Practice has also commenced a Cell Therapy Program for the treatment of chronic diseases and other conditions not responsive to conventional therapy. Over the last 5 years, it has been shown that Cell Therapy may have a role in the treatment of heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, neurological disease, chronic ulcers and non-healing wounds, as well as cosmetic rejuvenations. Further, through its affiliate Stem Cell Technologies i, Cell Therapy is being investigated for its role in the treatment of diabetes, stroke, cardiovascular disease and sports injuries.
