Marites Ampil, successful Robotic Surgery Philippines
Miss Teresita Ampil who underwent a successful Robotic Surgery Philippines
My name is Marites Ampil. I am 54 years old. I work full time and caregiver/guardian to my 88 year old mother.
Three years ago, I was diagnosed with Multiple Myoma. I was not prepared to undergo surgery then as the thought of a large abdominal incision plus long post-surgical recovery, long hospital stay scared me to death. I never had surgery before. I could not imagine my mother not being cared for me immediately after surgery.
In April of this year, complications of my condition worsened and I had to make a decision that it is time for surgery. I was extremely anxious. I did not know any gynecologist surgeon.
I was given 5 pages of the list of surgeons at the hospital information. I did not understand the titles of the surgeons and what they can offer. I prayed hard for enlightenment. The printed copy of the list of gynecologic surgeons hardly helped as it was hardly legible. I believe there was some divine intervention. I randomly picked the name of Dr. Rebecca Singson, who specializes in Robotic Surgery Philippines.
I consulted with Dr. Singson, who offered Robotic Assisted Technology, considering my home situation and apprehensions. I still had no clue. I was reassured that this is a minimally invasive procedure and hospital stay is also minimal. I was still extremely anxious.
Dr. Singson and her team were very reassuring.
Dr. Singson performed Robotic Assisted Hysterectomy and I was up on my feet 12 hours after my robotic surgery philippines. My apprehensions were all sorted. I had four very small incisions- 1 cm each in size.
Considering the volume of the diseased uterus, I find it extremely incredible that such diseased organ was surgically removed not through traditional large abdominal incision. Pain was also relatively controlled.
I was discharged home after 2 days. My heartfelt gratitude to the surgical skills of Dr. Rebecca Singson and the Robotic Technology.
Thank you to the surgical and nursing team of St. Luke’s Medical Center Global City.
Now I am back with my mother who is likewise grateful for the short and safe hospital stay.

Dr. Rebecca Singson has been my OB since 2009. What I like about her is that she has been jolly and very positive not only regarding health but also to life. When you enter her clinic which is decorated with Italian inspired paintings and surrounded by mirrors, you can never feel that you are in a hospital setting. Her nurses, Maika and Claresse are very approachable and they always remind me of my appointments with Dr. Singson. It was my regular checkup last February for my ultrasound result under Dr. Comia. The results showed an endometriotic cyst on my right ovary and adenomyosis. Dr. Singson discussed with me the causes and possible Robotic Surgery Philippines treatments of my condition. She explained to me the differences between laparoscopic surgery and robotic surgery. Because of my complicated condition, 2 previous surgeries with expected adhesions, Dr. Singson explained to me that Robotic Surgery Philippines was best for me. I was scheduled for Robotic Surgery Assisted Hysterectomy with Right Salpingooophorectomy last May 10, 2016. I was worried at first because it was my first time to undergo such procedure. From time to time, I would call her nurses to ask questions for Dr. Singson and she would always answer and reassure me that everything will go well.
I was admitted early morning last May 10, 2016 for my robotic surgery. Whether I was in pre-op and post-op, the duty nurses or anyone who heard that I was under the care of Dr. Singson just kept telling me over and over that I was in good hands. The Robotic Surgery Philippines lasted for just almost an hour and I was transferred to my room 2 hours after my surgery. The day after, I was already pacing around my room and Dr. Singson was even amazed when she did her rounds. I stayed in the hospital just for two days and was finally discharged early morning of May 13, 2016. I didn’t feel any severe pain (maybe a pain scale of 1-2 over 10) and was back to normal around 3 days after my surgery. I only had 4 small incisions in my tummy which did not interfere with my daily activities. She is the best doctor for me and I highly recommend her to everyone who is in need of medical treatment related to reproductive health. So, if I ever have any other medical problems, I will definitely come back to her. This is not just my testimony to her; not only about her knowledge and skills, but also about the way the nurses and other staff talked about her, about who she is as a person. She is compassionate and caring and it’s the full package you desire when you’re looking for a great physician.
