While my main focus is upper gastrointestinal and bariatric surgery, I also offer a range of keyhole (laparoscopic) general surgical procedures. These are safe, effective solutions for common problems that can significantly impact quality of life.
Gallbladder problems are common—and painful. The most frequent issue is gallstones, which can cause:
If you’ve had gallstone attacks or complications, surgery to remove the gallbladder is usually the best solution.
We perform this via keyhole surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy), usually as a day-stay procedure or with one overnight stay.
Fast recovery
Small incisions
Long-term cure — the gallbladder can cause of lot of symptoms and potentially serious health problems, but isn’t essential for digestion
Hernias occur when internal tissue or intestine pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall.
They won’t get better on their own—and may worsen over time.
We offer surgical repair of:
Inguinal hernias (groin area)
Umbilical hernias (belly button)
Ventral/incisional hernias (in previous surgical scars)
When is hernia surgery needed?
You notice a bulge, often with discomfort or pain
It’s affecting activity or quality of life
There’s a risk of bowel becoming trapped (incarcerated hernia)
Most hernias can be repaired laparoscopically, though some are better suited to open repair, depending on size, location, and prior surgeries. Mesh is used in most adult cases to reduce the chance of recurrence.
Fast return to normal activity
Durable repair with low risk of recurrence
We tailor the approach to you
Common Procedures I Offer Include:
For cancer assessment, unclear imaging, or unexplained symptoms such as pain, ascites, or weight loss. This may include biopsies, fluid sampling, or planning for further surgery or oncology care.
For suspected or confirmed appendicitis, including complex or atypical presentations.
For tumours, bleeding, Crohn’s disease, strictures, or focal pathology identified on imaging or during exploration.
For deep intra-abdominal or para-aortic lymphadenopathy when a tissue diagnosis is required and not accessible by less invasive methods.
Minimally invasive
Often same-day or short-stay procedures
Clear diagnostic insight with less recovery time
If reflux, regurgitation or a hernia is stopping you from living life fully, let’s talk. Whether you need reassurance, a medication review, or an operation—we’re here to help.
