Microsurgical Resection with Reconstruction: When Precision Determines Outcome
Microsurgical resection is used for complex tumours or defects where nerves, vessels, or critical structures must be preserved. Reconstruction is often performed during the same operation.
What It Costs
For microsurgical resection with reconstruction, MOH benchmarks indicate:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 12,000 – 20,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 3,000 – 4,800
Operating time, ICU care, and specialist teams significantly increase total cost.
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage is generally strong when:
• Surgery is medically necessary
• Performed for cancer or major trauma
• Hospitalisation and ICU benefits apply
Insurance Tip
Confirm whether microsurgical reconstruction is covered under the same surgical event or treated as a separate claim.
Conclusion
Microsurgery demands expertise and insurance planning must match that complexity.
