We perform general surgery of the abdominal wall, digestive system and neck using keyhole (laparoscopic) techniques wherever possible. Which approach suits you is decided together, based on your examination and test results.

Keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery

In laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon works with a camera through a few small openings in the abdomen. The main advantages are less pain, a shorter hospital stay, a lower risk of incisional hernia and an earlier return to work. Gallbladder, appendix, inguinal and abdominal wall hernia, stomach and bowel operations, and examination of the abdominal organs (diagnostic laparoscopy) can be done this way.

Abdominal wall hernias

Inguinal, umbilical and incisional hernias (at the site of a previous operation) are repaired with keyhole or open surgery, depending on the size of the hernia and the patient’s condition.

Minor procedures

Benign lumps under the skin (such as lipomas and cysts) and moles (naevi) are removed and, where needed, sent for pathology. Aesthetic revision of old surgical scars is also offered.
