Treatments
Use the options below to explore potential treatments for your medical needs.
Types of treatment or procedure:
Abdominal adhesion surgery
Tissues injured by surgery often form bands of tissue as your immune system triggers the healing process. These bands are called adhesions.
Appendicectomy
If your appendicitis is confirmed your surgeon will recommend removing your appendix (appendicectomy).
Bilateral (inguinal) hernia repair
A bilateral hernia is a very common form of hernia that presents itself in the groin area.
Cholecystectomy (Gallbladder removal)
Cholecystectomy is a laparoscopic procedure used to treat gallstones by removing the gallbladder.
Endoscopic kidney stone treatment
Kidney stones may remain in your kidneys causing no symptoms. However if a stone begins to move out of your kidneys it can be painful or block the passage of urine and you may need treatment.
Hernia repair
A hernia occurs when weak spots or tears in the abdominal wall allow abdominal contents to push through, often resulting in a noticeable lump. Hernia repair, offered at Nuffield Health hospitals, is a surgical procedure to correct this condition through either keyhole or open surgery to prevent it from getting larger or more painful.
Hernia unilateral
Surgical treatments for hernias occurring on one side of the body are available at Nuffield Health hospitals.

Laparoscopic reflux surgery (fundoplication)
If conservative treatment for acid reflux isn't working, a surgeon may recommend laparoscopic (keyhole) reflux surgery.
