Yes. Our team assists with insurance and admission paperwork as part of your pre-surgery preparation. Please carry your policy details and ID when you visit, and ask our team what applies to your case.

Typical signs are pain that starts near the navel and shifts to the lower right abdomen, fever, nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite. Pain that keeps worsening is an emergency, so see a surgeon immediately.

In most cases, yes. Removing the inflamed appendix (appendicectomy) prevents it from bursting, which can cause a serious infection. Your surgeon will confirm the right plan after examination and tests.

After laparoscopic surgery most patients go home within 1 to 2 days and return to light activity in about a week. Open surgery, or a ruptured appendix, may need a longer stay and recovery. Your surgeon will guide you on your own timeline.

Not always. Stones that cause no symptoms are often only watched. Surgery is usually advised once stones cause pain, infection or other complications.

Yes. The liver keeps making bile that flows directly into the intestine, so most people digest food normally after the gallbladder is removed. Start with light, low-fat meals and slowly return to your usual diet.

No. A hernia is a gap in the muscle wall and does not heal by itself. It usually grows over time, so surgical repair is the only permanent treatment.

Laparoscopic repair uses a few tiny incisions and a camera and usually means less pain and quicker recovery. Open repair uses one incision over the hernia. Both commonly use a mesh, and your surgeon will suggest what suits you best.

If the bulge becomes hard, tender or discoloured, or you have severe pain with vomiting or constipation, go to a surgeon immediately, as the hernia may be trapped.

A hydrocele is usually harmless and painless, but scrotal swelling can also be caused by a hernia, infection or tumour, so it should be examined and confirmed with an ultrasound. Treatment is advised if it is large, uncomfortable or affects daily activities.

The standard treatment is a short operation called hydrocelectomy, which removes or closes the fluid sac. Needle aspiration with an injection is an option for some patients, though the fluid is more likely to return.

No. Early piles often improve with a high-fibre diet, fluids, medicines and avoiding straining. Surgery or laser treatment is advised for larger piles, or when bleeding, pain or prolapse keeps returning despite treatment.

Rarely. Medicines may control infection for a while, but an established fistula tunnel usually needs a procedure to heal properly. The right technique depends on the position of the fistula.

No. Bleeding can also be caused by a fissure or, less commonly, by growths or cancer in the bowel. Please have any bleeding examined instead of treating it on your own.

The procedures are done under sedation, so most people feel little or no pain. You may feel mild bloating or throat soreness for a short while afterwards.

The bowel must be cleared with a special diet and laxative solution the day before, so the view is clear. We will give you exact written instructions, and you should tell us about any regular medicines, especially blood thinners.

Not always. Many conditions can first be treated with medicines or smaller procedures. Hysterectomy is usually considered when these have not worked, or when the condition is serious. Your surgeon will discuss every option with you.

Removing the uterus stops your periods and the ability to become pregnant. Menopause happens right away only if both ovaries are also removed. If the ovaries are kept, they usually continue to work.

No. Most breast lumps are benign, such as cysts or fibroadenomas. However, no lump should be assumed harmless, so any new lump should be examined and, if needed, tested.

If the entire thyroid is removed you will need thyroid hormone tablets for life. After removal of only part of the gland, some people need them and some do not. Your surgeon will monitor your hormone levels and guide you.

Persistent indigestion, unexplained weight loss, blood in stools or black stools, a lasting change in bowel habits, and anaemia without a clear cause. These have many causes, but if they last more than a couple of weeks, please get evaluated.

For many patients surgery is the main treatment, as removing the tumour offers the best chance of control. Depending on the stage, it may be combined with chemotherapy or radiation planned with oncology specialists.

No. Many fractures heal well in a cast or splint. Surgery is advised when the bone is badly displaced, the joint is involved, or the fracture is unstable.

Usually not at first. Most joint pain is managed with medicines, exercises, physiotherapy, weight management and other non-surgical care. Surgery is considered only when these no longer control your symptoms.

Diabetes is generally a lifelong condition that is controlled rather than cured. With the right diet, activity, weight control and medicines, many people keep their sugar in range and live healthy lives.

It can. Poorly controlled sugar can slow wound healing and raise the risk of infection. If you need surgery, our team will optimise your sugar levels beforehand and monitor them closely afterwards.

Not necessarily. The aim is to treat the cause and use medicines only as needed and at the lowest effective dose. Long-term use should always be supervised by a doctor, because painkillers can have side effects.

Get medical help urgently for sudden severe pain, pain with fever, weakness or numbness, chest pain, or back pain with loss of bladder or bowel control. Pain that lasts more than a few weeks should also be examined.
