Located in the southern part of Malaysia, Gleneagles Hospital Johor’s primary objective is to consistently offer optimal care and customized treatments for our patients. The well-being of our patients stands as the foremost priority for every member in our team. Hence, our commitment lies in integrating the latest surgical technology into our hospital, ensuring that we offer our patients the most advanced and effective options available.
As an organization that is deeply passionate about healthcare, we have witnessed significant advancements in the healthcare industry, particularly in the realm of surgical techniques. With the utilization of state-of-the-art equipment, surgeries can now be conducted through minimally invasive methods, facilitated by small incisions that feature cameras and cutting- edge technology. These advancements not only streamline the surgical process but also contribute to enhanced efficiency and precision in patient care.
Since 2019, Gleneagles Hospital Johor has been committed to providing specialists with advanced equipment for performing Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) procedures. This includes machines such as, Mona Lisa for prostate biopsy and Cori for total knee replacement. As a result, Gleneagles Hospital Johor has transitioned from traditional open surgery to minimally invasive surgery, reducing the percentage of open surgery procedures from 38% to 17% between 2019 to 2023. This transition has not only reduced complications but also contributed to a lower morbidity rate among patients. Currently, more than 60% of surgeries at our hospital are conducted through minimally invasive techniques facilitating the rapid return of many members of society to their communities, enabling them to contribute in meaningful ways to society as needed.
Being the only hospital that can perform Minimally Invasive Surgery Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (MIS CABG) in the southern region of Malaysia, Gleneagles Hospital Johor has become the exclusive facility offering this advanced procedure. Through MIS CABG, patients undergoing surgery can resume their daily activities within just one week, ensuring swift recovery and minimal disruption to their lives afforded by this innovative approach.
In the field of Gynaecology, minimally invasive surgeries allow women to undergo surgeries that enable them to swiftly resume their roles as career professionals, wife and mothers thereby enhancing their overall quality of life. Minimally invasive surgery not only reduces patient recovery time but also decreases the duration of the surgical procedure itself. This shortened surgical time enables healthcare providers to deliver more efficient and precise treatments to patients.
