How the department works

How your concern is evaluated

A surgical consultation reviews symptoms, previous operations, medicines, medical conditions and available scans or tests. The surgeon examines the affected area and determines whether observation, medicines, further investigations or a procedure is appropriate. If surgery is considered, the consultation covers expected benefits, alternatives, anaesthesia, recovery and individual risks before consent.

Patient questions

Frequently asked questions

Practical information to help patients prepare for a specialist consultation.

Does every hernia need immediate surgery?

Not every hernia is an emergency, but a surgeon should assess the type, symptoms and risk. Sudden severe pain, vomiting or a tender non-reducible swelling requires urgent assessment.

What is laparoscopic surgery?

It is a minimally invasive surgical approach that uses small incisions and a camera for selected operations. Suitability depends on the condition and individual factors.

What should I ask before an operation?

Ask about the diagnosis, alternatives, expected recovery, anaesthesia, possible complications, medicines to stop or continue, and when you can return to usual activity.

Urgent warning signs

When to seek urgent medical attention

Seek urgent care for severe abdominal pain with vomiting, a painful non-reducible hernia, signs of internal bleeding, rapidly spreading infection, or sudden worsening after recent surgery.
