SURGERY & LAPAROSCOPY CLINIC

The Surgery & Laparoscopy Clinic receives referrals of general surgery cases, which having been assessed by a specialised and experienced surgical team are managed either by standard open surgery or laparoscopic methods.

These cases include a broad spectrum of general surgery cases, such as:

 

 

 

  1. Skin and soft tissue conditions (naevi, skin and sebacious cysts, lipomas, pilonidal cysts, abscesses, etc)
  2. GI tract conditions affecting the following organs:
    - oesophagus (diaphragmatic hernia, achalasia, cancer)
    - stomach (polyps, cancer)
    - small intestine (ileum, adhesions, neoplasms)
    - large intestine (diverticuli, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis,
    polyps, acute appendicitis, cancer)
    - bile ducts (cholelithiasis, gallbladder polyps, inflammation)
    - liver (primary or metastatic cancer)
    - pancreas (cysts, cancer)
    - spleen (splenomegaly, hypersplenism)
  3. Rectal conditions (haemorrhoids, anal fissure, perianal fistula, rectal neoplasma)
  4. Hernias (inguinal hernia, scrotal hernia, femoral hernia, umbilical hernia, epigastric hernia, incisional hernia, ventral hernia, hydrocele, varicocele)
  5. Morbid obesity
  6. Thyroid - parathyroid conditions
  7. Breast conditions
  8. Lower limb varicose veins

For the treatment of the above conditions, new techniques and technologies are employed, such as laser systems, ultrasound, ultrasound scissors, radiofrequencies and neurostimulators, thus achieving modern surgical and minimally-invasive laparoscopic surgeries.

Modern surgical procedures include:

  • Laser-assisted pilonidal cyst surgery
  • Laser-assisted perianal fistula surgery
  • Radiofrequencies for anal fissures
  • Ultrasound scissors for haemorrhoids
  • Stapled haemorrhoidopexy
  • HAL-RAR procedure for haemorrhoids
  • PHS and local anaesthesia for inguinal hernias
  • Total thyroidectomy using neurostimulation
  • Parotidectomy using neurostimulation

 

Modern laparoscopic surgical procedures 
include:

  • exploratory laparoscopy
  • lysis of adhesions
  • laparoscopic cholecystectomy
  • laparoscopic apendectomy
  • Laparoscopic surgery for intestinal disorders (enterectomy - colectomy)
  • Laparoscopic diaphragmatic hernia repair
  • Laparoscopic oesophageal hernia repair
  • Laparoscopic epinephridectomy
  • Laparoscopy surgery for obesity
  • Laparoscopic repair of abdominal wall hernias
  • Transanal minimally invasive surgery - transanal endoscopic surgery (TAMIS-TEM)

All severe cases such as cancer are treated jointly with the corresponding medical departments and specialties, as well as by oncology boards, thus attaining the optimal therapeutic result.
