OUR Services
As a paediatric surgeon I provide consultations, management and surgery for a wide range of conditions affecting children and infants using open, laparoscopic, thoracoscopic and endoscopic modalities. Below is an overview of some of the more common clinical presentations I can provide specialist surgical expertise in.
Antenatal Counselling and Neonatal Surgery
There are several conditions that are occasionally picked up on antenatal scans that may mean the newborn baby will need surgery. Often this news can come as a great shock, and it is quite possible you will have never heard of these conditions before.
