Dr HEAH SIEU MIN

MB BCh, FRCSEd (General Surgery), FAMS General Surgeon

Dr Heah Sieu Min is a surgeon with over 20 years of experience and has special interest in treating haemorrhoids, and screening and surgical interventions for colon and stomach cancers.

He has two facilities, both fully equipped for colonoscopy, gastroscopy and haemorrhoidal treatment. In every case, the procedure is safely performed under intravenous sedation and the patient is disc harged after a short one hour recovery period.

Surgery for haemorrhoids includes stapled haemorrhoidectomy, and the new technique of Transanal Haemorrhoidal Dearterialization (THD) which is relatively painless.

THD utilizes a Doppler probe to accurately identify the bleeding harmorrhoidal vessel in order to occlude it by stitching. THD is a very effective method of treating bleeding harmorrhoids without the need of haemorrhoidectomy. Because there is no excision, the discomfort is minimal and recovery time is often only one day.
