Surgical Gastroenterology handles digestive conditions that need an operation, from a routine gallbladder removal to emergency surgery for a perforated ulcer or an obstructed bowel. Wherever the condition allows, the approach is laparoscopic.
Because the hospital has its own 24/7 theatre, laboratory, blood investigations, intensive care and histopathology, an emergency abdominal case can go from casualty to theatre without transfer.

Questions patients ask
Do gallstones always need surgery?
No. Stones found by chance that have never caused symptoms are often just watched. Surgery is advised once they cause pain, inflammation, jaundice or pancreatitis, because attacks tend to recur and get worse. Your surgeon will explain which situation you are in.
Is emergency abdominal surgery available at night?
Yes. Theatre, anaesthesia, intensive care, the laboratory and the pharmacy run 24 hours a day, so emergency operations are not postponed to the morning.
How long will I be in hospital after gallbladder surgery?
For an uncomplicated laparoscopic removal, the stay is usually short, often a day or two. Open surgery, or a gallbladder that was badly inflamed, takes longer. Your surgeon will give you a realistic figure after assessing you.
What is the difference between medical and surgical gastroenterology?
Medical gastroenterology treats digestive and liver disease with medication and endoscopic care; surgical gastroenterology operates. The two teams work together here, so you do not have to decide which to book, and your work-up is not repeated if you move between them.
Will my tissue sample be tested in the hospital?
Yes. Histopathology is in-house, so specimens removed at surgery are processed and reported without being sent out.
