ABOUT DOCTOR

Dr Ma Li

MD, FRCOG (UK), MRCOG (UK), FACOG (USA),
FAMS (Singapore) in Obstetrics ＆ Gynaecology (O＆G)

Among the few gynaecologists in Singapore using robotic surgery for complex gynaecological cases, Dr Ma Li has a dedicated clinical interest in treating various types of endometriosis — including deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), bowel and ureter involvement, and Stage 4 disease — as well as complex multiple fibroids and other challenging uterine conditions.

She has performed over 2000 endometriosis procedures and is the surgeon of choice for patients referred from both within Singapore and internationally — handling multiple 2nd opinion cases and patients with multiple failed surgeries.

THE TECHNOLOGY

What is Robotic Surgery & Why Does It Matter?

Robotic-assisted gynaecological surgery uses the Da Vinci surgical system extending the surgeon's hands into micro-precision instruments with 3D vision and superior ergonomics.
WHAT IT IS?
Robotic surgery uses a surgeon-controlled robotic platform with miniaturised instruments that enter the body through small incisions. The surgeon operates from a console with magnified 3D vision.
HOW IT WORKS?
The Da Vinci system translates the surgeon's hand movements into precise, scaled-down movements inside the patient. Tremor filtration and articulating wrists enable movements impossible with the human hand alone.
WHY IT’S DIFFERENT?
Unlike traditional laparoscopy, robotic surgery provides full 3D high-definition vision, enhanced dexterity in confined spaces, and greater precision — critical for complex cases involving multiple organs.

SPECIALIST EXPERTISE

Conditions We Treat

Dr Ma Li specialises in the most complex gynaecological conditions, those that require the highest level of surgical expertise.
Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis (DIE)
Endometriosis that grows deep into pelvic tissue, often involving the bowel, bladder, or ligaments. Dr Ma Li uses robotic-assisted excision to remove deeply embedded lesions while preserving surrounding organ function and fertility where possible.
LEARN MORE
Bowel Endometriosis
When endometrial tissue grows on or into the bowel wall, it can cause pain, bleeding, and disrupted bowel function. Robotic surgery allows for excision with reduced risk to surrounding structures.
LEARN MORE
Stage 4 Endometriosis
The most advanced and complex form of the condition, often involving multiple organs and extensive adhesions. Dr Ma Li has performed over 1,500 Stage IV excision surgeries, including many second-opinion referrals.
LEARN MORE
Ureter Endometriosis
Endometriosis affecting the ureter can silently impact kidney function if left untreated. Robotic precision allows for careful dissection and ureter preservation during excision.
LEARN MORE
Multiple Fibroids
Multiple or large fibroids often call for more complex surgical planning. Robotic-assisted myomectomy enables removal while supporting fertility preservation, less blood loss, and faster recovery than open surgery.
LEARN MORE
Other Complex Uterus Condition
From adenomyosis to unusual anatomical variations, Dr Ma Li manages complex uterine conditions that benefit from advanced surgical expertise beyond standard approaches.

IS THIS RIGHT FOR ME?

Who This Is For?

Dr Ma Li sees patients across a wide spectrum of complexity. You may be a good candidate if you are experiencing any of the following:
Severe or recurring endometriosis pain
Prior failed endometriosis surgery
Complex or multiple fibroids
Multi-organ endometriosis (bowel, bladder, ureter)
Referred for surgery deemed 'too difficult' for keyhole / minimally invasive surgery
International patients seeking advanced specialised care

International Patient Friendly

We have extensive experience supporting patients travelling from India, the Maldives, Philippines, Indonesia, Australia, Vietnam, Cambodia, American, European and other ASEAN countries.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is robotic surgery safe?
↓
Robotic-assisted surgery is a well-established, widely used technique for complex gynaecological procedures. Dr Ma Li performs it using the da Vinci Xi Surgical System at Mount Elizabeth Hospital, which offers enhanced precision and 3D visualisation compared to conventional laparoscopy — particularly valuable for intricate cases like deep infiltrating endometriosis.
Robotic surgery builds on laparoscopy’s benefits — small incisions, less pain, faster recovery — while adding 3D vision and greater instrument control, which can be especially useful in complex or previously-operated cases. Both are safe, effective approaches; the right one depends on your specific condition, which Dr Ma Li will assess during consultation.
Recovery varies by procedure and individual, but minimally invasive techniques generally mean smaller incisions, less tissue trauma, and a shorter hospital stay than open surgery. Dr Ma Li will walk through the expected recovery timeline for your specific procedure during consultation.
Yes. The practice regularly sees international patients and supports them with consultation planning and cashless insurance processing where applicable. If you’re travelling from abroad, reach out ahead of your visit so the team can help coordinate scheduling and documentation.
