We provide specialist general and gastrointestinal surgical care, offering outpatient consultations, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, and a range of elective procedures. These include all open and minimally invasive approaches to common general surgical problems (see our services offered below). All treatment is tailored to the individual patient, with a focus on safety, minimally invasive techniques, and efficient recovery.
A gastroscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure used to examine the oesophagus, stomach, and upper part of the small intestine using a flexible camera. It allows accurate identification of conditions such as inflammation, ulcers, bleeding, and other abnormalities, and can be performed safely as a day procedure.
An inguinal hernia occurs when abdominal contents, such as fat or intestine, protrude through a weakened area in the groin, often causing a visible bulge and discomfort that may worsen with activity. Repair can be performed using an open approach, through a single incision in the groin, or via laparoscopic and robotic techniques, which use small keyhole incisions and specialised instruments to reinforce the weakness with mesh, typically resulting in reduced postoperative pain and faster recovery in suitable patients.
An umbilical hernia occurs when abdominal tissue protrudes through a weakness at or near the belly button, resulting in a bulge that may cause discomfort or pain. Umbilical hernia repair is a surgical procedure that reinforces the weakened area, either with sutures alone or with mesh depending on the size of the hernia, to relieve symptoms and reduce the risk of recurrence.
A recurrent inguinal hernia repair is performed when a hernia returns following previous surgery. The procedure involves repairing the weakened area of the groin using a different surgical approach from the original operation where possible—often utilising laparoscopic or robotic techniques after prior open repair—to reinforce the tissues with mesh, relieve symptoms, and reduce the risk of further recurrence, while taking into account the complexity of prior surgery and individual patient factors.
A bilateral inguinal hernia repair is a surgical procedure to treat hernias present on both sides of the groin. The operation can be performed using open or minimally invasive laparoscopic or robotic techniques, during which the weakened areas are reinforced with mesh to provide durable support, relieve symptoms, and reduce the risk of recurrence, with the approach selected based on individual patient factors.
A cholecystectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the gallbladder, most commonly performed to treat gallstones and related complications. It is typically carried out using a laparoscopic approach, involving small keyhole incisions, or a robotic approach, which uses enhanced visualisation and instrument precision to perform the operation minimally invasively, with the aim of reducing pain and supporting a faster recovery.
Anti-reflux surgery is a treatment option for patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) whose symptoms are not adequately controlled with medication. The procedure, most commonly performed using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques, aims to strengthen the valve mechanism at the junction of the oesophagus and stomach to reduce acid reflux and improve long-term symptom control.
Upper gastrointestinal physiology reporting involves specialised functional tests that assess how the oesophagus and stomach work, rather than their structure. These studies, such as oesophageal manometry and pH monitoring, provide detailed information on swallowing function, oesophageal motility, and acid reflux, and are essential for diagnosing functional disorders and guiding appropriate medical or surgical management.
