General Surgery – Clinical work and support
Special Interests – Elective
The Consultants have special interests in:
- Colorectal Cancer
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease
- Pelvic Floor Disorders
- Minimally invasive Surgery
- Trans-anal Endoscopic Microsurgery
- Bariatric Surgery
- Anti-reflux and Biliary Surgery
There are no acute vascular services in the hospital, but one surgeon who also works at Brighton and Sussex University Hospital runs clinics and occasional elective operating lists as part of the service.
Emergency General Surgery
The service is run through the Emergency Floor with support from the Acute Physicians. A large proportion of emergency work is performed laparoscopically, incorporating a fully integrated ‘hot gallbladder’ service supported by all the General Surgeons.
We are also supported by the gastroenterologists with access to acute endoscopy on a 24/7 basis..
