Frequently asked questions
Why do you do what you do?
A defining feature of abdominal surgery, in general, and liver and pancreas surgery, in particular, is that is the type of surgery that requires a lot of finesse, a real love of surgery just for the specialty itself and for what it involves. The main reason I went into HPB surgery is because it gives people hope. There is not many other types of surgeries where the operation is the only treatment that can offer that cure.
What are the common symptoms that your patients tend to present with?
For patients with a referral for investigations: It will usually be something like a non-specific upper abdominal pain that may be related to eating and may be associated with some nausea. For patients with an assumed Gall Bladder issue: Pain after eating, usually occurring about half an hour after eating, almost always in the upper abdomen or the right upper abdomen, and often associated with nausea and radiating through to the back.
What are the treatments that you're able to offer your patients?
• Hernia repairs (laparoscopic, keyhole or open surgery) • Complex liver and pancreatic surgery • Liver transplantation • Bowel surgery • Gall stone management and surgery
