Our wide range of procedures include:

Abscess incision and drainage

Abscesses are very common. They form as a response to bacterial infections. Anyone can develop an abscess but there are certain factors that increase the risk of developing an abscess, such as smoking, diabetes, and certain skin conditions. Most abscesses can be managed with a small procedure called an incision and drainage. A cut is made in the skin over the abscess and the pus inside the abscess is washed out. The abscess cavity is then packed with a dressing.

Appendicectomy

The standard treatment for suspected appendicitis is to have surgery to remove your appendix. This is called an appendicectomy. You have the surgery under general anaesthetic. This means that you are asleep and do not feel any pain

Breast surgery

Mr Georgios Exarchos is our Consultant Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon. He sees patients who have breast cancer and benign breast disease. Mr Exarchos also specialises in providing breast reconstruction surgery procedures following a mastectomy. With access to a world-class imaging suite, he ensures every patient enjoys the highest standard of care throughout their breast cancer treatment.

Cholecystectomy

A cholecystectomy is a common surgical procedure to remove the gallbladder, usually performed to treat painful gallstones or inflammation (cholecystitis).

Colorectal surgery

The term "colorectal" is a combination of two words: colon and rectum. This term often refers to all organs of the lower digestive tract, including the colon, rectum, anus, pelvic floor and small intestine. Colorectal surgery includes a wide range of surgical procedures that can treat conditions affecting the lower digestive tract, ranging from hemorrhoids to diverticulitis to cancer.

Colonoscopy

This is a test to check inside your bowels to help find out what's causing your bowel symptoms. Mr Bloom has developed a wide experience of colorectal surgery and is a certified screening colonoscopist, with more than 15,000 procedures successfully performed.

Endoscopy

You might need an endoscopy (specifically an upper endoscopy or gastroscopy) to investigate or treat issues in your upper digestive tract, such as the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. Doctors use the procedure to diagnose symptoms, take tissue samples (biopsies), and treat problems like bleeding

Haemorrhoidectomy

A haemorrhoidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove severe, persistent internal or external haemorrhoids (piles) when conservative, non-surgical treatments have failed. Performed under general anaesthetic, the operation takes 20 to 45 minutes

Hernia repair

Although having a hernia is not usually a serious condition, hernias will not go away without having surgery to repair it. This means there is no long term alternative to having surgery to repair a hernia. Hernia repair surgery is usually carried out as day surgery so you can go home on the same day but sometimes people need to stay in hospital overnight. 

Obesity surgery

Mr Ioannis Gerogiannis can perform a sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, intragastric balloon and removal of a gastric band,

Removal of skin lesions

Skin lesion removal is a procedure to eliminate benign (non-cancerous) growths or suspicious lesions for medical, practical, or cosmetic reasons. Performed under local anesthesia, the exact technique—such as surgical excision, shaving, freezing, or scraping—depends on the lesion's type and location

Ventral mesh rectopexy

Ventral mesh rectopexy is a highly effective, minimally invasive procedure used to treat both internal and external rectal prolapse.

The first step for any patient is usually an initial consultation. Unless your GP or insurer has told you otherwise, you should book your first appointment with a member of our general surgery team.
