Centre of excellence
General Surgery
Laser and keyhole techniques, open surgery when it is safer
In short
The general surgery department treats piles, fissure, fistula, pilonidal sinus, hernia, gallbladder stones, appendicitis and varicose veins. Laser, laparoscopic or open techniques are selected according to the diagnosis and the approach most likely to give a safe, durable result.
Anorectal problems are the single most common reason people come to this department, and they are also the ones people delay longest. Piles and fissures get treated at home with ointments for months before anyone sees a surgeon. By then the problem is worse and the patient is exhausted.
The Mesic Class IV therapy laser broadens the minimally invasive options available for selected anorectal and vascular conditions. Recovery, dressings, admission and return to work vary by condition and technique, and are discussed before consent.

Honest about what needs open surgery
Not everything should be done with a laser. Where an open or laparoscopic repair gives the better long term result, we say so.

Questions
General Surgery, answered
Appropriate anaesthesia is used for the procedure. Pain afterwards varies by diagnosis and technique, so your surgeon explains what to expect and provides a tailored pain-relief and aftercare plan.
For laser treatment of piles, fissure or fistula, usually no. You come in the morning and go home the same evening. Laparoscopic gallbladder and hernia surgery normally means one night.
After laser anorectal procedures, most people with desk jobs return in two to three days. After laparoscopic gallbladder surgery it is usually about a week, and longer if your work involves heavy lifting.
Recurrence is possible with any method, including surgery. It drops significantly if the underlying cause is fixed, which usually means treating constipation, adding fibre and water, and not straining. Your surgeon will go through this with you at discharge.
