Gastric sleeve surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) is a minimally invasive procedure that removes approximately 80% of your stomach, creating a smaller, banana-shaped stomach. This advanced laparoscopic technique not only restricts food intake but also reduces hunger hormones, helping you feel satisfied with smaller portions and supporting long-term weight management.

Revisional surgery is a type of corrective procedure for patients who have previously undergone weight loss surgery but did not achieve the expected results, experienced complications, or have regained weight over time. Depending on your needs, this may involve modifying or converting a previous gastric band, sleeve, or bypass procedure.

A hiatus hernia occurs when the stomach pushes through the diaphragm into the chest, often causing severe acid reflux or GORD. Laparoscopic hiatus hernia repair and fundoplication involve reinforcing the diaphragm and improving the antireflux barrier to alleviate symptoms.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold-standard procedure for gallbladder removal, often performed to treat gallstones that cause pain, nausea, or infection. Using a minimally invasive approach, the gallbladder is removed through small incisions, reducing recovery time and minimising post-operative pain.

A colonoscopy is a safe and effective procedure used to examine the inside of your large intestine (colon and rectum). It involves passing a thin, flexible tube with a camera through the rectum, allowing your doctor to check for inflammation, growths (polyps), or signs of bowel disease. The procedure is usually performed under light sedation.

An endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to look inside your digestive tract, typically the oesophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine. It involves passing a thin, flexible tube with a camera through your mouth and down into your stomach, allowing your doctor to check for inflammation, ulcers, blockages, or other issues without the need for surgery.
