Reproductive Surgery

As reproductive surgeons with expertise in advanced laparoscopic (key-hole) and pelvic reconstructive surgery, we aim to improve the chance of a spontaneous pregnancy or success of subsequent IVF cycles for suitable patients.

Some of the surgeries we commonly perform include:

1. Endoscopic assessment of subfertility
   • Laparoscopy: Key-hole surgery to assess the pelvis
   • Hysteroscopy: To assess the womb cavity
     
     
2. Hysteroscopic treatment of endometrial polyps and Asherman syndrome
   
   
3. Laparoscopic reversal of previous ligation:
   
Over the past 10 years, we have accumulated the most experience in this locally, and have achieved a cumulative pregnancy rate of more than 70% for patients who are less than 40 years old, with an average time to pregnancy at less than 1 year.


4. Laparoscopic drainage of a fluid filled fallopian tube (hydrosalpinx):
   The presence of hydrosalpinges in subfertile women reduces the success of IVF by 50%. Treatment of hydrosalpinges can improve success rates.
   
   
5. Laparoscopic assisted tubal recannalisation for blocked fallopian tubes
   
   
6. Laparoscopic treatment of ovarian cysts and endometriosis
   
   
7. Laparoscopic and hysteroscopic removal of fibroids
   
   
8. Surgical correction of congenital anomalies of the female genital tract through a combination of laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. Our team has successfully treated numerous cases of congenital defects in the womb and vagina including rarely seen conditions such as an obstructed double vagina or womb. If necessary, cases are co-managed with our pediatric surgeons and gynae-oncologists.
