What is General Surgery?

General surgery is a broad surgical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of a wide range of conditions affecting various organs and body systems. It encompasses procedures related to the digestive system, abdomen, soft tissues, skin, and endocrine system, among others.

General surgeons are highly trained to perform both routine and complex surgical procedures, addressing conditions such as hernias, gallbladder disease, appendicitis, gastrointestinal disorders, and certain types of tumors.

Many procedures are performed using advanced minimally invasive techniques, including laparoscopic surgery. This allows for smaller incisions, lower risk of complications, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery.

General Surgery Treatment at New Victoria Hospital

Patients will first be invited for a consultation with one of our General Surgeons to discuss their condition and any concerns they may have.

Our surgeons will listen attentively and conduct the necessary tests and screenings to diagnose the condition accurately and provide the best course of treatment.

Our General surgery Clinic provides expert surgical care for a variety of conditions, including:

Hernias (inguinal, umbilical, and incisional)
Gallbladder disease and gallstones
Appendicitis
Abdominal pain and disorders
Skin lesions and cysts
Haemorrhoids and anal fissures
Soft tissue lumps and lipomas
Reflux-heartburn treatments
Bariatric-weight loss procedures
Benign and malignant tumours
Gastrointestinal conditions such as diverticulitis

The clinic offers both traditional open surgery and minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures, which allow for shorter hospital stays, minimal scarring, and quicker recovery times.

Recovery time varies depending on the type of procedure performed. Many minor surgeries allow for same-day discharge, while more complex surgeries may require a short hospital stay.

The General Surgery clinic here at New Victoria Hospital provides full aftercare support, ensuring you receive the necessary follow-up appointments and recovery guidance to help you return to daily activities as soon as possible.

What to Expect from Your General Surgery Appointment

When you book a General surgery appointment, you will receive a comprehensive consultation with one of our highly experienced surgeons. We ensure you are fully informed about your diagnosis, treatment options, and expected recovery time.

Our team coordinates closely with referring GPs and other specialists to provide comprehensive treatment and stress free experience.

During your appointment, you can expect:
