Areas of treatment
From obesity and metabolic surgery to gastrointestinal cancer, hernia repair and endoscopic procedures.
How the method is chosen
The same condition may be treated differently in different patients. The choice between open, laparoscopic and robotic surgery is made by weighing the site and stage of disease, previous operations, intra-abdominal adhesions and general health. The pages below are written so that this decision can be made together.
Robotic Surgery
Three-dimensional vision and wristed instruments with the da Vinci system; finer dissection in narrow spaces.
Obesity and Metabolic Surgery
Surgery for lasting weight control, planned around body mass index and accompanying illnesses.
Gastric Sleeve
About 80% of the stomach is removed to leave a narrow tube; the effect works through both volume and hunger hormones.
Gastric Bypass
A small gastric pouch with rerouted small intestine; prominent in reflux and type 2 diabetes.
Laparoscopic Surgery
Operations carried out through a few centimetre-sized openings in the abdominal wall under camera guidance.
Reflux Surgery
Repair of the stomach inlet and the diaphragmatic opening when reflux persists despite medication.
Stomach Cancer Surgery
Removal of the affected part of the stomach together with the surrounding lymph nodes to recognised standards.
Colorectal Cancer Surgery
Removal of the affected bowel segment with its lymph nodes in colon and rectal cancer.
Colon and Rectal Surgery
Surgical treatment of diverticular disease, inflammatory bowel disease and conditions of the anal region.
Gallbladder Surgery
Keyhole removal of the gallbladder for pain and inflammation caused by gallstones.
Hernia Surgery
Mesh-supported repair of inguinal, umbilical and incisional hernias, usually by the keyhole method.
Endoscopy
Camera examination of the digestive tract for diagnosis, biopsy and polyp removal.
