Laparoscopic hernia repair is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat selected abdominal wall and groin hernias. Small incisions allow specialised instruments to repair the weakened area, often using surgical mesh. The technique is selected according to hernia size, location, previous operations and patient health.
Retroperitoneal adrenalectomy removes a diseased adrenal gland through a minimally invasive approach from behind the abdominal cavity. It may be considered for selected adrenal tumours and hormone-producing abnormalities. Treatment requires detailed hormonal investigation, imaging and assessment of the lesion.
Gastrointestinal surgery treats selected conditions affecting the stomach, intestines and associated digestive structures. Operations may be necessary for obstruction, complex disease or certain tumours. Surgical planning depends on the diagnosis, disease extent and suitability for minimally invasive techniques.
Hepatobiliary surgery involves surgical management of conditions affecting the liver, gallbladder and bile ducts. Procedures may be considered for selected benign disorders, obstruction and tumours. Treatment decisions require imaging, laboratory investigations and assessment of liver function.
Endocrine surgery treats selected conditions involving glands that produce hormones, including the thyroid and adrenal glands. Surgery may be recommended for specific tumours, enlargement or hormone-producing abnormalities. Detailed endocrine testing helps determine whether an operation is appropriate.
Transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy is a specialised minimally invasive approach to thyroid surgery performed through small incisions inside the mouth. It avoids a conventional visible neck incision in suitable patients. Eligibility depends on thyroid pathology, gland size and clinical evaluation.
The Whipple procedure, or pancreaticoduodenectomy, is a major operation performed for selected tumours and other diseases involving the pancreatic head, duodenum or bile duct. It involves removing affected structures and reconstructing digestive connections. Careful patient selection is essential.
Minimally invasive abdominal surgery uses laparoscopic instruments and small incisions to perform selected operations. Potential advantages include smaller wounds and reduced postoperative discomfort, although outcomes vary. The surgical approach depends on disease complexity and patient-specific risks.
Complex abdominal surgery addresses conditions involving multiple structures, difficult anatomy or previous surgical procedures. Treatment requires careful imaging, medical optimisation and surgical planning. Open or minimally invasive approaches may be chosen according to safety and the underlying disease.
Pancreatic tumour surgery may be considered for selected benign, precancerous or malignant conditions. The type of operation depends on tumour location, involvement of nearby vessels and overall medical fitness. Multidisciplinary evaluation helps establish the appropriate treatment approach.
