Gynaecology
The Department of Gynaecology at the Singapore General Hospital provides general gynaecology services and subspecialty services: gynaecological oncology, reproductive endocrinology, adolescent gynaecology urogynaecology and climacteric medicine.
Women with gynaecological conditions can be treated using minimally invasive surgery. The experience and expertise of the medical staff in advanced laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures are expressed by them achieving the first tubal patency using falloscopic tuboplasty in Singapore and the region.
