DR VIJAYAN VELA Maternal-Fetal Physician/Obstetrics & Gynaecologist

Maternal-Fetal Physician/Obstetrics & Gynaecologist
MD (USM), MRCOG (London)
Fetal Maternal Medicine, Gynae-Laparoscopic Surgery

First and foremost I am "gynae", a term the public use to infer to the work of an obstetrician & gynaecologist. The basic services provided by a "gynae" includes

1. Health screening of women, including scans and pap smears
2. Treatment of common menstrual disorders such as delayed, too much, too little or too painful menstrual flow.
3. Routine antenatal checkups - the assessment of pregnancy, including routine scans
4. The care of women during their perimenopause and menopause
5. Routine surgery for gynaeocological problems: fibroids and cysts

As a Consultant in Fetal Maternal Medicine trained in the care of high risk women with medical conditions in pregnancy, I provide the following:

1. Pre Pregnancy Clinic.
A clinic consultation where any women, especially women with medical conditions, can attend to discuss the risks of pregnancy and discuss measures to modify or reduce these risks before getting pregnant. As we know some medical conditions themselves affect the baby and pregnancy. Systemic Lupus Erythromatosus (SLE), for example, may increase the risk of the developing pregnancy induced hypertension and fetal growth restriction. Pregnancy may make the SLE worse. Various therapeutic modifications can be discussed to reduce risks and optimize outcome PRIOR to pregnancy. This includes discussing the most suitable medications, most suitable time to get pregnant etc.

2. The High Risk Pregnancy clinic is as the above but during pregnancy. The follow up of high risk pregnancies requires all three angles, medical, pregnancy and the baby, all covered. With a background of obstetric medicine, this clinics are a combination of all three.

3. Detailed scanning & Fetal Diagnostics and Therapy. As a fetal medicine consultant I have seen the requests for detailed scans rise with ever increasing number of women requesting for detailed scans. This is not surprising especially when 3-4% of babies are born with structural defects. I also deal with the diagnosis of genetic conditions like Down syndrome and thalassemia. We routinely perform chorionic villi and amniotic fluid sampling.

4. The realistic view high definition 3D 4D scanning is in town. With the latest equipment we can now watch your baby in a cinematic 3D experience. Yes- with your 3D glasses on. The images can be taken home for a 3D viewing on TV sets that support 3D viewing.

Laparoscopic Surgery (key-hole)
Most gynecological operations can now be performed without having long scars. Key-hole surgery allows patients to get up and out of bed very soon after surgery as the pain is minimal. Indeed, most operations are now performed as day-cases. We routinely perform cyst removal, fibroid removals and hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) via key-hole surgery with patients walking about the same day.
