General Surgery

Assessment and surgical management of hernia, gallstones, appendicitis and soft-tissue problems.

Bright modern surgical theatre prepared for patient care

General surgery covers the common abdominal and soft-tissue conditions that need an operation, along with the assessment that decides whether one is necessary. Ultrasound and CT on site mean a painful abdomen can be imaged the same day and a decision reached quickly.

Conditions we see

  • Hernia — inguinal, umbilical and incisional
  • Gallstones and gallbladder disease
  • Appendicitis and acute abdominal pain
  • Piles, fissure and fistula
  • Lumps, cysts and abscesses

What we offer

  • Surgical consultation and operative planning
  • Pre-operative assessment and fitness workup
  • Same-day ultrasound and CT for acute presentations
  • Wound care and post-operative review
  • Biopsy and minor procedures
