Procedure Information
Bariatric surgery for weight loss60-80% excess weight loss▼
Scientific research shows that only 5% of morbidly obese patients can achieve long-term weight loss with diet and exercise. Bariatric surgery on the other hand, has proven to lead to a sustained excess weight loss of 60-80%.
Gallbladder▼
Gallstones are a very common finding but can cause some serious medical conditions.
Gastroesophageal reflux (GORD)▼
"Reflux", "heartburn", or "indigestion" are common symptoms that indicate you may have underlying GORD. Many of these patients will also have a hiatal hernia. These symptoms can lead to some serious medical conditions.
Abdominal hernias▼
Hernia repairs are one of the most common procedures performed by a general surgeon. Hernia's can occur in many areas of the abdomen and groin. Hernia's can almost always be repaired with laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery.
Endoscopy▼
We provide a full endoscopy service including gastroscopy and colonoscopy.
Hiatal hernia▼
Many patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) will also have a hiatus hernia (a hernia of the diaphragm where the stomach may "slip" up into the chest). This may also lead to some serious medical conditions which may benefit from surgery.
Skin cancer▼
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in Australia. Melanoma is the most deadly skin cancer, and unfortunately Australia also has the highest rates of melanoma than any other country in the world.
