My Services
Hernias
Groin hernias/swellings, inguinal hernias, femoral hernias, umbilical hernias and incision hernias as well as other causes of groin pain which is a common ailment. Major abdominal wall reconstruction.
Abdominal Complaints
Gallstones, reflux and gastritis, abdominal pain, changes in bowel habit to loose stools or diarrhoea or constipation, anal pain and itching and bleeding such as treatment for haemorrhoids.
Pelvic Floor Issues
Incontinence and faecal leakage; rectal prolapse, which can present as something coming out of the anus or bulging into the vagina and problems opening your bowels. I work closely with specialist urologists and gynaecologists to provide a holistic approach.
Why Choose Me?
We offer rapid access to appointments and investigations. I offer a consultant led and delivered service of the highest quality that is tailored to your particular needs. I provide expertise in many areas, including minimally invasive surgery, hernias, both small and massive, bowel conditions, including bleeding and treatment of haemorrhoids as well as faecal incontinence and prolapse. I will counsel you with appropriate information to give you a balanced view to ensure that you get the best possible treatment for you. This is not always the same for all patients, and you would be the heart of that decision making process, and it is essential that you are at the heart of this process.
If you require expertise from other specialities then this would be done quickly and efficiently, for example, I work closely with upper gastrointestinal surgeons as well as pelvic floor MDT urology and gynaecology multidisciplinary teams on both sides.
