About the doctor
General surgery is the foundation of all surgical disciplines and covers a wide range of abdominal and soft-tissue operations. The general surgeon treats conditions such as appendicitis, gallstones and gallbladder disease, the various types of hernia, and breast and thyroid lumps.
Today many of these operations are performed with minimally invasive, laparoscopic techniques, which mean less pain, a shorter hospital stay and a faster return to normal life. Careful pre-operative assessment and post-operative care are an integral part of this unit's services.
