About this specialty
General surgery covers gallbladder disease, hernias of all types, appendicitis, colonic masses and tumours, the surgical assessment of reflux, thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal disease, breast, oesophageal and gastric conditions, and abdominal wall reconstruction.
The most important question before any operation is whether surgery is necessary now, and whether this is the right operation. Our consultants review imaging and reports and discuss the indications, alternatives and risks before a step that is difficult to reverse is taken.
