Conditions
Obesity
Gastric bypass · Sleeve gastrectomy
Obesity is a chronic disease, not a failure of willpower. The choice of operation rests on a full pre-operative assessment and long-term follow-up, not on fashion.
Reflux
Nissen fundoplication · Hiatus hernia repair
When medication is not enough, or you do not want to take it for life. Surgery is decided only after tests show exactly what is happening.
Special interest
Much of our work is with patients operated on elsewhere, living with symptoms nobody has explained. Diagnosing problems after bariatric surgery takes time, the right tests and experience with the anatomy the previous operation left behind.
Diagnosis first
Symptoms alone are not enough. Mapping the anatomy and function of the oesophagus shows whether surgery is needed, and which operation.
24hours
Measures how much acid and non-acid reflux reaches the oesophagus and whether it matches your symptoms.
HRM
Checks how well the oesophagus moves, which decides what kind of anti-reflux operation is safe.
OGD
Shows oesophagitis, hiatus hernia or Barrett’s oesophagus, with biopsies where needed.
