General Surgery & Endoscopy Procedures
Laparoscopic refers to a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses a laparoscope, a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light at the end, to examine or operate inside the abdomen and pelvis. This procedure is also called keyhole surgery or minimally invasive surgery (MIS) because it involves small incisions rather than large cuts.
General Surgery & Endoscopy Procedures

Experiencing persistent abdominal pain, discomfort , bloating, anaemia or unexplained digestive bleeding?At ALPS Clinic, we provide advanced, evidence-based endoscopy in Singapore to detect and treat gastrointestinal conditions early — before they become serious.
Whether you’ve been advised to undergo a gastroscopy for persistent heartburn or a colonoscopy for changes in your bowel movements, our specialists perform every procedure with precision, safety, and your comfort in mind. With advanced techniques and a patient-centric approach, we make the entire process smooth, from diagnosis to recovery.
How is Endoscopy Performed?

Endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows doctors to see inside your digestive tract using a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera. It helps diagnose and treat problems such as bleeding, ulcers, or growths — often in a single session.
At ALPS Clinic Singapore, we perform both diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy, combining precision imaging with gentle, targeted treatment for faster, safer results.
Using an endoscope, doctors can precisely inject medication, stop bleeding, remove foreign objects, or even remove small tumours — all without large incisions.
We ensure every procedure is performed with advanced equipment, strict sterile technique, and a focus on safety, efficiency, and comfort, ensuring minimal downtime after your endoscopy.
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) — often called keyhole surgery — uses tiny incisions to access and treat internal organs. This modern approach means faster recovery, less pain, and smaller scars, helping you return to normal life sooner.
Signs and Symptoms That May Require an Endoscopy
Endoscopy is a versatile procedure used for screening, diagnosis, treatment, and long-term surveillance of digestive conditions. Your doctor may recommend an endoscopy in Singapore for any of the following reasons:
​
1. Diagnostic Indications
To investigate unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms such as:
Persistent or recurrent abdominal pain or discomfort
Chronic indigestion, bloating, nausea, or vomiting
Severe or frequent heartburn, acid reflux, or difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
Vomiting blood (hematemesis) or material resembling coffee grounds
Passing black, tarry stools (melena) or symptoms of unexplained anaemia
Changes in bowel habits, including blood in stool, unexplained weight loss, or loss of appetite
2. Screening Indications
To detect conditions early — even before symptoms appear — including:
Gastric (stomach) cancer and colorectal cancer
Precancerous polyps or lesions in the stomach or colon
Routine colon cancer screening for individuals over 50, or earlier if there is a family history of gastrointestinal cancer
Familial cancer syndromes
Prior to starting Aspirin, blood thinning medications or chemotherapy
3. Therapeutic Indications
Endoscopy also enables minimally invasive treatment, such as:
Controlling bleeding from ulcers or blood vessels
Removing foreign objects or polyps
Excising small tumours or early-stage lesions
Dilating narrowed areas of the oesophagus, stomach, or intestine
Injecting medication directly to treat specific sites
Insertion of feeding tubes
4. Surveillance Indications
To monitor existing or previously treated gastrointestinal conditions:
Follow-up after removal of polyps or early cancers
Monitoring chronic conditions such as Barrett’s oesophagus, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or gastric ulcers
Post-treatment surveillance to detect recurrence early
