Expertise
HERNIA SURGERY
I'm an expert in hernia surgery, including groin, abdominal wall, incisional and traumatic hernias. I utilise minimally-invasive techniques wherever possible, and am one of the few surgeons nationwide capable of providing robotic repair of abdominal hernias.
ENDOSCOPY
I conduct colonoscopy and gastroscopy procedures to investigate abdominal pain and reflux symptoms, and to aid in the screening, exploration and treatment of bowel cancer symptoms and disease.
GALLSTONE DISEASE
I have considerable experience with gallstone disease and gall bladder surgery, including the treatment of pain and ongoing complications.
BOWEL & PERIANAL DISEASE
As well as surgery for bowel cancer and tumours, I also specialise in hemorrhoids, anal fissures and fistulas, perianal skin tags and the investigation of symptoms concerning rectal pain and bleeding.
