Vascular and Endovascular Surgery

The Vascular team at Changi General Hospital (CGH) comprises of surgeons with specialised interest in both endovascular and open vascular surgical procedures. Our doctors work in close collaboration with other allied healthcare professionals such as wound nurses, podiatrists and sonographers in order to provide care to our patients in the Vascular Clinic and Wound Healing Centre.

Surgical procedures are carried out in our hybrid vascular operating theatre while the majority of complex vascular procedures are performed via minimally invasive endovascular techniques. As such, we aim to improve limb salvage rates and improve the quality of life for patients through the care provided.

Aside from clinical work, our clinicians conduct regular endovascular live case workshops for other doctors both locally and regionally. We also run a yearly CGH Wound Symposium organised by our wound committee.
