GORD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease)

This is a surgical operation which involves making around 5 small cuts (incisions) in the abdomen to insert a telescope (camera) and some instruments. The abdomen is filled (inflated) with gas to allow access and visibility of the organs. Most of the gas will be removed at the end of the operation. Stitches and/or paper strips will be used to close the skin wounds.

The top part of the stomach (fundus) is wrapped around the lower part of the gullet (oesophagus) and stitched to make a new valve to prevent the reflux of stomach contents back into the oesophagus (gullet). If you have a hiatus hernia, this will be repaired at the same time.

Groin Hernia

Open surgery

Often offered for more complex or larger hernias or if you do not want a general anesthetic. Your surgeon makes one cut of about 8 – 10cm in your groin. They find the hernia, push it back into place, close the hole with stitches or reinforce it with a mesh.

Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery

Often offered if you have a hernia on both sides or you have had a hernia repair before. Your surgeon makes 3 or 4 small cuts (less than 2 cm) in your abdomen (tummy). They use long tools to push the hernia back in and cover the hole with a mesh. Stitches cannot be used in keyhole surgery. Sometimes you have bloating or shoulder pain after keyhole surgery. This is due to the gas used to inflate your abdomen (tummy) during surgery.

Obesity

The foundation of obesity treatment rests on lifestyle changes, regardless of whether surgery is later considered. These changes focus on:

• Dietary modifications

• Increased physical activity

• Improved sleep habits

• Stress management

Gall Bladder Polyps

Cholecystectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in the NHS, involving the removal of the gallbladder. It's typically recommended for patients with gallstones causing repeated episodes of pain, inflammation, or complications.

The procedure is usually performed laparoscopically (keyhole surgery) through 3-4 small incisions, though in some cases open surgery may be necessary. Most patients undergo the operation as a day case or require just one overnight hospital stay.

Recovery typically takes 1-2 weeks for desk jobs and up to 4 weeks for more physical work. While the gallbladder isn't essential for digestion, some patients may need to adjust their diet, particularly reducing fatty foods initially.
