What Surgery We Do?

General Surgery

The general surgeon is not a “generalist”, but rather a specifically and highly trained specialist. The general surgeon, therefore, must have the knowledge and experience to evaluation and treat a full range of complex general surgery problems. They are the one who care for patients needing surgery on the abdomen, skin, breast, soft tissues, or endocrine system, which includes the esophagus, stomach, small bowel, colon, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and bile ducts, among other organs. Each of our general surgeons has advanced fellowship training, including training in endoscopy & upper gi surgery surgery, minimally invasive surgery, breast and endocrine surgery and bariatric surgery.

Upper Gastrointestinal, Bariatric & Metabolic Surgery

We have a strong focus towards minimally invasive laparoscopic ( keyhole ) surgery and specialise mainly in benign and malignant upper gastrointestinal conditions, and bariatric surgery. Our Upper GI Surgeon treats a variety of complex upper gastrointestinal and general surgical conditions. Most of the surgeries are performed minimally invasive (either through a small keyhole incision or via endoscopy). This enables the patient to have a quicker recovery, less pain and faster return to their daily activities. We also specialise in Bariatric surgery to help severely overweight people permanently lose weight. It reduces your appetite by making your stomach smaller. Gastric bypass and other weight-loss surgeries are also done when diet and exercise haven’t worked or when you have serious health problems because of your weight.

Breast & Endocrine Surgery

Our Breast and Endocrine Surgeon specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, phyllodes tumors, breast fibrocystic disease, thyroid cancer, thyroid mass and, hyperparathyroidism. For breast cancer, we perform a high level of diagnostic imaging, surgical treatment, and drug therapy in cooperation with specialists of many fields. We also have performed an outstanding number of total thyroidectomies for thyroid cancer and laparoscopic surgeries for adrenal tumors.
