General surgery consultation involves assessing medical conditions that may require operative treatment. The surgeon reviews symptoms, clinical findings and relevant investigations before deciding whether medical management, monitoring or surgery is appropriate for the patient.
Laparoscopic surgery uses specialised instruments and a camera introduced through small abdominal incisions. This approach may be considered for selected abdominal disorders. Suitability depends on the diagnosis, previous operations and individual surgical risks.
Colorectal assessment involves evaluating disorders affecting the colon and rectum. Symptoms may include altered bowel habits, bleeding or abdominal discomfort. Appropriate investigation helps establish the diagnosis and determine whether medical or surgical treatment is required.
Gastrointestinal trauma can involve injuries affecting abdominal organs or the digestive tract. Serious injuries require urgent evaluation, imaging and sometimes emergency surgery. Treatment depends on the organs involved, extent of damage and the patient's condition.
Gastrointestinal emergencies may involve bowel obstruction, perforation, severe infection or internal bleeding. Prompt hospital assessment is required to identify the cause and provide suitable treatment, which may include emergency surgery in selected cases.
Haemorrhoids are swollen vascular tissues around the anal canal and may cause bleeding, discomfort or itching. Treatment depends on symptom severity and may include dietary changes, medicines, office-based procedures or surgery when necessary.
An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anal canal that can cause pain and bleeding during bowel movements. Treatment commonly begins with stool-softening measures and medication, while persistent cases may require procedural assessment.
An anal fistula is an abnormal tract between the anal canal and nearby skin. Medical examination and selected imaging help assess the tract. Surgical treatment may be recommended depending on complexity and sphincter involvement.
Bowel obstruction occurs when intestinal contents cannot move normally through the digestive tract. Symptoms can include abdominal pain, vomiting, swelling and inability to pass stool or gas. Urgent assessment is important to identify the cause and appropriate treatment.
Follow-up after abdominal surgery involves checking wound healing, monitoring symptoms and identifying complications. The surgeon may provide guidance about physical activity, nutrition and recovery based on the operation and the patient's condition.
