Other treatments in this speciality
Laparoscopic Hernia Repair
The hernia is repaired from inside through small incisions and the weak area reinforced with a mesh. It suits both sides being repaired at once and recurrent hernias.
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
The gallbladder, along with its stones, is removed through small incisions. People live normally without a gallbladder — bile flows directly from the liver into the intestine.
Diagnostic Laparoscopy
A camera is inserted through a small cut to look directly at the abdominal and pelvic organs when scans haven't found the cause of symptoms. Treatment can often be done in the same sitting.
