We offer a service from diagnosis, assessment and definitive management of multiple surgical diseases that include both traditional open surgery and the latest minimally invasive advanced laparoscopic (keyhole) and endoscopic techniques.

Anal-rectal Conditions

Haemorrhoids

When vascular structures in the anal canal become swollen or inflamed. Treated using HAL RAR (Ultrasound guided haemorrhoidectomy)

Anal Fistula

Commonly occuring in people with a history of anal abscesses, they can form when abscesses do not heal properly. Treated using VAAFT (Video assisted anal fistula treatment)

Anal fissure

An anal fissure is a break or tear in the skin of the anal canal. Repaired using a procedure called lateral sphincterotomy.

Gastrointestinal conditions

Gall Bladder conditions

Gallstone disease is very common in Australia, affecting 1 in 10 adults. It is commonly and successfully treated with laparoscopic (‘key hole’) gallbladder surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy).

Reflux

A ring of muscular tissue (the lower oesophageal sphincter) at the junction of oesophagus (gullet) and stomach acts as a one-way valve. When this sphincter fails to close completely the oesophagus will be exposed to the stomach acid, giving rise to gastro – oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) or heartburn.

General surgery

Skin lesions

Conditions of the skin that present with cutaneous surface changes termed 'lesions'.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a result of compression of the median nerve to the hand. Symptoms include tingling or pain in the fingers or numbness and weakness in the fingers.

Vasectomy

A surgical procedure for male sterilisation or permanent contraception.

Hernia

Hernia – overview

Types of hernias and the various treatment options.

Inguinal /groin hernia

Laparoscopic (keyhole) or open. Hernias present as bulges in the groin area that can become more prominent when coughing, straining, or standing up.

Femoral hernia

Femoral hernias occur just below the inguinal ligament, when abdominal contents pass through a naturally occurring weakness in the abdominal wall called the femoral canal.

Umbilical /ventral hernia

An umbilical hernia is a condition where the abdominal wall behind the navel is damaged. It may cause the navel to bulge outwards. Ventral hernias may be caused by incisions, other trauma or congenital problems.

Incisional hernia

Hernia after an abdominal operation.

Recurrent hernia

One of the commonly performed operations all over the world is hernia repair.

Recti diastasis

(abdominal separation)

Abdominal wall reconstruction

Surgery for complex hernia.

Pilonidal sinus

A type of skin infection which typically occurs between the cheeks of the buttocks. It can be treated using Endoscopic Pilonidal Sinus Treatment (EPSiT) or traditional pilonidal sinus surgery.
