About this service
When to consult a surgeon
Surgical specialists assess conditions that may need an operation, a procedure or other treatment. An assessment does not automatically mean that surgery is necessary.
General and laparoscopic approaches
The appropriate approach depends on the diagnosis, medical history, examination and equipment or surgical team currently available. Some surgeons' published interests include laparoscopic, breast and colorectal surgery; these interests must not be taken as a guarantee of an available procedure.
Planning an appointment
Take existing scans, reports and a medication list. Ask the hospital which published surgeon is consulting, whether your proposed procedure is available and what preparation or admission is needed.
