Luma Day Surgery Centre
Integrated Breast Surgical Care and Day Surgery Facilities
Luma Day Surgery Centre brings together surgical facilities, diagnostic imaging and on-site pathology support within one setting. In collaboration with breast specialists at Solis Breast Care, these capabilities support a coordinated pathway for the assessment and surgical management of breast conditions.
Located at The Paragon, Orchard Road, the centre comprises two operating theatres and six recovery bays. Its on-site frozen section facility enables tissue examination by a pathologist during selected operations, when clinically indicated.
In addition to supporting Luma's integrated breast care services, the centre works with external surgeons undertaking procedures within its approved scope of services.

Integrated Breast Surgical Care
Breast care may involve specialist consultation, diagnostic imaging, tissue assessment and surgery. Having relevant clinical capabilities within the same setting can support coordination between the professionals involved at different stages of care.
Luma works in collaboration with breast specialists at Solis Breast Care, bringing together:
Breast specialist care: Assessment and surgical management of breast conditions in collaboration with Solis breast specialists.
Diagnostic imaging: Breast imaging capabilities to support assessment and procedural planning, as appropriate.
Intraoperative pathology support: On-site frozen section examination for selected operations, where clinically indicated.
Not every patient will require all these services at Luma. The appropriate pathway depends on the patient's condition, investigations and treatment plan.
Surgical Facilities and Capabilities
Luma Day Surgery Centre provides facilities for selected breast surgical procedures, with care arrangements determined by the procedure and individual clinical needs.
Procedures may include:
Lumpectomy: Removal of a breast lump or targeted area of tissue.
Breast-conserving surgery: Removal of affected breast tissue while preserving the remaining breast where clinically appropriate.
Mastectomy: Surgical removal of the breast.
Breast reconstruction: Reconstruction of the breast, where appropriate.
Sentinel lymph node biopsy: Assessment of selected lymph nodes to help determine whether breast cancer has spread to the lymphatic system.
The centre also accommodates external surgeons undertaking procedures within its approved scope. Doctors who wish to enquire about using the facilities may contact our team to discuss procedural requirements and arrangements.
Operating Theatres, Sterilisation and Infection Prevention
Luma Day Surgery Centre has two operating theatres designed to support surgical procedures in a clean and controlled environment.
Instrument sterilisation
Surgical and procedural instruments undergo a four-step sterilisation process in accordance with applicable Ministry of Health (MOH) requirements.
Air filtration
The operating theatres are equipped with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration system to support air quality within the surgical environment.
These measures form part of the centre’s approach to maintaining appropriate standards of cleanliness and infection prevention.
On-site Frozen Section Facility
Luma's on-site frozen section facility allows our pathologist to examine selected tissue samples during an operation and communicate preliminary findings to the surgical team.
Where clinically appropriate, frozen section assessment may help inform decisions about further tissue sampling or additional surgical steps during the same procedure. Its use depends on the clinical circumstances and the type of tissue being examined.
Further examination using standard laboratory processing may still be needed to establish the final diagnosis.
Recovery Facilities and What to Expect on the Day
The centre has six recovery bays where patients are monitored following their procedures. Recovery and discharge arrangements are tailored to the procedure, anaesthesia used and individual clinical needs.
Before your procedure
Your care team will explain the procedure and provide instructions based on your planned surgery and anaesthesia. Follow the instructions given to you, including any fasting requirements.
During your procedure
Anaesthesia may involve general anaesthesia, sedation or local anaesthesia, depending on the procedure and your clinical needs.
After your procedure
You will be monitored in the recovery area while the care team assesses your condition and readiness for discharge. If you require someone to accompany you home, your care team will advise you accordingly.
