Patient Testimony from Mary Grace Batario Care of Dra. Rebecca Singson
I underwent Robotic Surgery to remove the dermoid cyst in my remaining ovary last August 30, 2018. At my young age of 25, jumping into conclusions such that early menopausal or even for not having a possibility of having a child in the future, it’s been tough for me to know the possibilities of removing my remaining ovary due to a huge sized dermoid cyst. I prayed for a good doctor that can save my last and remaining ovary (since my right ovary has been removed when I was 18 with same kind of cyst). We even searched online for top recommended OB-Gynes near Laguna and we’ve found Dr. Rebecca Singson.
Remembering our first meeting with Dr. Rebecca, together with her very accommodating secretary/nurses (Ms. Jessie and Ms. Joana @ ASIAN), and with the very relaxing ambiance of her clinic, everything seems to be relaxed and perfect. She also took time to explain the possible reasons of having such condition and how it could have been avoided; and, after hearing her explanation, it seems that I have attended a short science class with her. That’s how she explained clearly the details. Dr. Rebecca showed sympathy for my condition and gave me hopes in saving my remaining ovary. The fact of having a big cyst inside your ovary is already distressing but after talking to her everything becomes lighter.
For me Robotic Surgery is really safe and very suitable procedure in my case. Still, Dr. Rebecca is very honest to disclose worst possibilities that may happen depending on the conditions inside my belly — having Exlap procedure with bigger incisions and not being able to save my ovary, and reassured to me that she will do her best.
And thanks to God, my ovary was saved. Considering the size of the cyst, it was a good decision to choose robotic surgery as recommended by Dr. Rebecca Singson. Four hours after the operation, I was able to walk already and go to restroom and pee without catheter and pain. I can already eat meals—no restrictions. I stayed at the hospital for just 1 day after the operation. I only have 4 small incisions with very minimal stomach pain and discomfort due to the gas blown inside my belly (which is normal as explained before the procedure) and with minimal shoulder pain as well. After 20 days, I was able to go back to work.
I am overwhelmed with Dr. Rebecca’s proficiency. It’s been 4 weeks since my operation, thanks to God I have been able to underwent robotic surgery. My ovary was saved and it only took weeks for me to feel better and go back to some of my daily activities.
I would like to thank Dr. Rebecca Singson and all the medical team who assisted me throughout the operation and treatments. Thanks to her clinic secretaries/nurses Ms. Joana, Ms. Jessie and Ms. Karen for their friendly assistance and accommodation.
To God be all the glory!!!
