Conditions & Procedures
-
Gallstones, Cholecystectomy & ERCP
Gallstones are hardened deposits that form in the gallbladder and can cause pain and complications, treated by removing the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) or by ERCP to clear stones from bile ducts.
-
Obesity & Weight Loss Surgery
Weight loss surgery offers effective treatment for severe obesity through procedures like gastric banding or gastric sleeve that help patients achieve significant, sustained weight loss and improve health conditions.
-
Hernia Repair
A hernia occurs when tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscle wall, typically repaired surgically to prevent complications and relieve discomfort.
-
Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux & Hiatus Hernia
GORD causes stomach acid to flow back into the oesophagus creating heartburn, often associated with hiatus hernia where part of the stomach pushes up through the diaphragm, both treatable with anti-reflux surgery.
-
Endoscopy (Gastroscopy & Colonoscopy)
These procedures use a flexible camera to examine the digestive system - gastroscopy for the stomach and upper tract, colonoscopy for the large bowel - to diagnose conditions and screen for cancer.
-
Pancreatic & Hepatic Cancer
These are serious cancers affecting the pancreas and liver respectively, requiring specialised treatment including surgery, chemotherapy, and other therapies depending on the stage and type.
-
Thyroid & Parathyroid Surgery
Thyroid surgery treats conditions like goitre, nodules, and thyroid cancer, while parathyroid surgery corrects overactive glands that cause elevated calcium levels in the blood.
-
Adrenal Surgery
Adrenal surgery removes overactive or enlarged adrenal glands that may be producing excess hormones or pose a cancer risk, typically performed using minimally invasive techniques.
