Surgical Procedures

Dr Wong provides comprehensive surgical care for women with a wide range of conditions affecting the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix and pelvis. Her approach combines precision surgery with a strong understanding of reproductive health, fertility preservation, and long-term well-being.

Our Surgical Philosophy

Dr Wong’s surgical care is guided by the following principles:

Individualised Care: Every patient receives a personalised treatment plan based on their symptoms, age, fertility goals, and overall health.
Fertility Preservation: Where possible, surgical techniques are chosen to protect and preserve reproductive function.
Minimally Invasive Techniques: Laparoscopic and hysteroscopic approaches are preferred to reduce pain, scarring, and recovery time.
Comprehensive Evaluation: Thorough assessment and imaging are performed before surgery to ensure accurate diagnosis and planning.
Clear Communication: Patients are fully informed about the risks, benefits, alternatives, and expected recovery.

Conditions Commonly Managed Surgically

Dr Wong performs surgery for a range of gynaecological conditions, including:

Endometriosis
Ovarian cysts
Uterine fibroids
Abnormal uterine bleeding
Uterine polyps
Cervical abnormalities
Pelvic pain
Fertility-related structural concerns

Each of these conditions may require a different surgical approach depending on severity and patient goals.

Minimally Invasive Surgery

Minimally invasive surgery allows many gynaecological procedures to be performed through small incisions or through the vagina and cervix without abdominal cuts. This approach offers:

Less post-operative pain
Reduced risk of infection
Shorter hospital stay
Faster return to normal activities
Smaller scars
Lower risk of adhesion formation

Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy is a keyhole surgical procedure that allows Dr Wong to view and treat conditions within the pelvis and abdomen using a small camera inserted through a tiny incision near the navel.

It is commonly used to diagnose and treat:

Endometriosis
Ovarian cysts
Pelvic adhesions
Blocked fallopian tubes
Chronic pelvic pain

Endometriosis Surgery

Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. Surgical treatment involves carefully removing or excising endometriotic lesions while preserving healthy tissue.

Surgery may be recommended when:

Pain is severe or persistent
Fertility is affected
Medical therapy has not been effective
There is suspicion of deep infiltrating disease

Excision surgery is often preferred as it removes the disease at its root rather than simply burning the surface. For women trying to conceive, surgical management can improve fertility outcomes in selected cases.

Ovarian Cyst Surgery

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form on or within the ovary. While many cysts resolve naturally, surgery may be required if a cyst:

Is large
Causes pain
Persists over several menstrual cycles
Appears complex or suspicious on imaging
Twists (ovarian torsion)

A laparoscopic cystectomy involves removing the cyst while preserving the ovary, where possible. Fertility preservation is a key consideration, particularly in younger women.

Hysteroscopy & D&C

Hysteroscopy is a procedure where a thin camera is passed through the cervix into the uterus to examine the uterine cavity. It allows diagnosis and treatment without abdominal incisions.

It is commonly performed for:

Abnormal uterine bleeding
Uterine polyps
Submucosal fibroids
Retained tissue after miscarriage
Investigation of infertility

LLETZ (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure)

LLETZ is a procedure used to treat abnormal cervical cells detected during cervical screening or colposcopy. It involves removing a small section of abnormal tissue from the cervix using a thin wire loop.

Mild bleeding or discharge is common for a few weeks after treatment. Follow-up cervical screening is essential to ensure complete resolution.

Fibroid Surgery

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths within the muscle of the uterus. Surgery may be recommended if fibroids cause:

Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
Pelvic pressure or pain
Fertility difficulties
Recurrent miscarriage

Myomectomy involves removing fibroids while preserving the uterus. This can be performed laparoscopically, hysteroscopically, or via open surgery, depending on the size and number of fibroids.

For women wishing to conceive, careful surgical planning is essential to protect uterine integrity and future pregnancy outcomes.

When Is Surgery Necessary?

Surgery is recommended when:

Symptoms significantly impact quality of life
There is a risk of disease progression
Fertility is compromised
Non-surgical treatments have failed
There is suspicion of malignancy

In many cases, surgery offers both diagnostic clarity and therapeutic benefit.
