Major Surgeries in Singapore
Major Surgery Care in Singapore You Can Trust
Do not delay treatment when a condition demands surgical intervention. Major surgery requires precision, experience, and strict clinical control. These procedures involve deep tissue intervention, general anesthesia, higher risks, and longer recovery. At ALPS Clinic, major surgeries in Singapore are planned with thorough evaluation, clear risk management, and structured post-operative care to support safer outcomes and reliable recovery.
What is Major Surgery?
Major surgery refers to complex medical procedures performed to treat serious conditions that cannot be managed with medication or minor interventions. These surgeries require careful planning, skilled surgical expertise, and structured recovery because they place significant demands on the body.
Patients are closely monitored before, during, and after the procedure to reduce risks and support healing.
-
Large incisions or deep tissue involvement
-
Performed under general anesthesia
-
Higher risk of complications
-
Longer recovery period
-
Hospital stay for several days or more
Major Surgical Procedures at ALPS Clinic
Major Surgical Procedures at ALPS Clinic
Multivisceral resection is a complex surgical procedure in which two or more organs or surrounding structures are removed in a single operation to completely eliminate cancer. It is performed when a tumour spreads into nearby organs, making standard single-organ surgery inadequate for full tumour removal.
When Is Multivisceral Resection Used?
MVR is typically recommended for locally advanced cancers that have extended beyond the primary organ but have not spread to distant parts of the body. Common conditions where MVR may be considered include:
-
Colorectal cancer invading nearby organs such as the bladder, uterus, or small intestine
-
Gastric cancer with local extension into adjacent structures
-
Pancreatic cancer involving nearby organs or blood vessels
-
Retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcomas
-
Ovarian or uterine cancers spreading to the intestines or bladder
Peritonectomy
Peritonectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing part or all of the peritoneum, the thin membrane lining the abdominal cavity and covering abdominal organs. It is most often performed to treat cancers that have spread within the abdominal cavity and affected the peritoneal surface.
Why Is Peritonectomy Performed?
Peritonectomy is commonly used for patients with peritoneal surface malignancies, including:
-
Peritoneal carcinomatosis from other primary cancers
-
Pseudomyxoma peritonei, a rare mucus-producing tumour
-
Mesothelioma of the peritoneum
-
Ovarian cancer with peritoneal spread
-
Colorectal or gastric cancer that has spread to the peritoneum
Peritonectomy
Intra-abdominal soft tissue tumours are abnormal growths that develop from connective tissues such as muscle, fat, blood vessels, or nerves within the abdominal cavity. These tumours may be benign or malignant. Malignant soft tissue tumours are known as sarcomas and often require specialised surgical management.
What Are Sarcomas?
Sarcomas are rare cancers that originate from soft tissues or bone. When they develop within the abdomen, they are classified as intra-abdominal sarcomas and often require complex surgical planning.
Types of Intra-Abdominal Sarcomas
-
Gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST)
-
Liposarcoma
-
Leiomyosarcoma
-
Desmoid tumour or aggressive fibromatosis
-
Synovial sarcoma and other rare subtypes
Liver, Biliary, and Pancreatic Surgeries With Vascular Resection and Reconstruction
Liver, biliary, and pancreatic surgeries involve operations on the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, and pancreas to treat tumours, blockages, infections, or organ dysfunction. In complex cases, tumours may involve major blood vessels, requiring vascular resection and reconstruction to achieve complete tumour removal.
These surgeries range from minimally invasive procedures to complex open operations and demand advanced imaging, experienced surgical teams, and intensive post-operative monitoring to ensure patient safety and recovery.
