Minimally invasive techniques may reduce incision size and support recovery when clinically appropriate. Each recommendation follows a complete specialist assessment.
Conditions assessed and treated
Gallbladder disease, including gallstones
Appendix disease requiring surgical assessment
Hernias of the groin and abdominal wall
Diagnostic laparoscopy for unexplained abdominal findings
Selected upper gastrointestinal and colorectal conditions
How assessment works
1A full history and clinical examination in the consulting rooms
2Blood tests, imaging or endoscopy where these are clinically indicated
3A discussion of open and laparoscopic options, with the benefits, risks and limits of each
4Anaesthetic and fitness considerations reviewed before any procedure is planned
Recovery and follow-up
Recovery differs by patient and by procedure. Your expected hospital stay, activity restrictions, wound care and follow-up schedule are explained before you consent to treatment.
