Problems We Treat
Hernia: A bulge that comes out through a weak spot in the belly wall. It is often seen in the groin, navel or an old surgery scar. It may hurt or grow when you cough or lift. Surgery repairs the weak spot.
Gallstones and gallbladder problems: Stones in the gallbladder can cause pain in the upper right belly, especially after a meal, with nausea or vomiting. Surgery removes the gallbladder, and is often done by keyhole.
Appendicitis: A swollen or infected appendix. It often causes belly pain that starts near the navel and moves to the lower right side, with fever or vomiting. Surgery removes the appendix.
Piles and fissure: Piles are swollen veins near the anus that may bleed or hurt. A fissure is a painful crack near the anus. Many cases are treated without surgery first. The surgeon advises what suits you.
Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery: Surgery through small cuts using a camera. Whether keyhole surgery suits you depends on your problem. The surgeon decides after examining you.
