Amputations

An amputation is the removal of a body part. Removal could be the result of an accident (traumatic injury) or a planned amputation due to disease or a tumour.

Endocrine

Your endocrine system is made up of all the glands in your body that produce hormones. If your hormone levels become unbalanced your endocrine system signals one or more of these glands to correct the level.

Endovascular treatment

General anaesthetic

General Anaesthetic (GA) is a combination of drugs that causes a deep sleep.

Hydrotherapy

Nuffield Health Wessex Hospital is proud to offer the only local hydrotherapy pool as part of a private hospital. Hydrotherapy is a form of physiotherapy that is administered in a special heated pool. The benefits of hydrotherapy as part of a rehabilitation plan can be significant. There are also chronic conditions which benefit from hydrotherapy including polymyalgia, RA flare ups, chronic back pain, OA, MS and Muscular dystrophy. We offer regular back, hip, knee and shoulder classes which are suitable for advanced post-surgery and non-acute patients aiming to regain mobility, strength and core stability. The hydrotherapy pool is maintained at 34°C with showers in the changing rooms and poolside. We also have a hoist and a staircase with rails to aid mobility in and out of the pool and a large range of floats and equipment for use in the pool. The warm water helps relieve pain and relax the body, so increasing ease of movement.

Interventional radiology

Interventional radiology is a minimally invasive alternative to open surgery that uses radiological image guidance (X-rays, ultrasound, CT and MRI) to aid treatment.

Local anaesthetic

Local anaesthetic is a drug that is injected into a specific area of your body causing loss of feeling.

Mole removal

Moles are a form of pigmented lesion. Benign (non cancerous) lesions can simply be left alone. However if your mole bothers you in any way your consultant may recommend removal (excision).
