Our minimally invasive surgery centre has established laparoscopic service. This allows many complex extirpative and reconstructive procedures to be performed with minimal patient morbidity. In addition, the centre also actively organises laparoscopic treating courses for local and regional Urologists.
In Jan 2003, the centre became the first in Singapore and the region to provide robotic assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy for the surgical treatment of prostate cancer. Key benefits of this minimally invasive procedure include tiny wounds, less pain and a faster recovery.
