Minimal Access Surgery
Precision surgical care through tiny incisions, supported by fellowship-trained surgeons, advanced laparoscopic technology, and rapid recovery protocols.
About Department
Minimal Access Surgery (MAS) at PB Health is a specialised surgical unit focused on performing complex procedures through small incisions rather than large traditional cuts. The department combines experienced surgeons, high-definition laparoscopic systems, advanced energy devices, and evidence-based recovery pathways to deliver safer, faster, and less painful surgical care.
Core Capabilities
- Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery Suites with HD visualisation and precision instrumentation
- Emergency Minimal Access Surgery for appendicitis, gallbladder disease, perforation, and selected acute abdominal cases
- Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways for quicker mobilisation and reduced pain
- Integrated ICU & Post-Operative Escalation Pathways for high-risk patients when required

Integrated Care Model
Our Minimal Access Surgery department follows a coordinated, patient-first care model in which surgeons, anaesthesiologists, intensivists, nursing teams, and speciality consultants work together seamlessly.
From pre-operative optimisation to surgery and recovery, every patient follows a structured clinical pathway designed to improve safety, minimise complications, and accelerate recovery.
