General surgery can refer to a wide range of procedures

​

• Upper digestive tract (conditions related to the liver, oesophagus, and stomach)

• Lower digestive tract (conditions related to the small intestine, colon, rectum, anal canal)

• Breasts

• Thyroid, and other endocrine glands

• Vascular system (main blood vessels of the neck, trunk, and limbs)

At Ormiston Hospital, our surgeons are experts in their fields, providing you with personalised treatment plans based on their world class knowledge. Our team of experts will ensure your comfort and safety and assist you throughout your procedure, including your recovery and healing process.
