F.A.Q.
Are minimal access surgeries considered high risk procedures?
All surgeries carry some level of risk, but with modern techniques and proper patient selection, bariatric and metabolic surgery, minimal access hernia surgery, and laser proctology are considered safe and well-established procedures. Advances in anaesthesia, imaging, and minimally invasive technology have significantly reduced complications and improved outcomes.
Is bariatric and metabolic surgery only for weight loss?
No. While weight loss is an important benefit, bariatric and metabolic surgery also helps improve or even reverse conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnoea, joint pain, and high cholesterol. It works by correcting hormonal and metabolic imbalances, not just by reducing food intake.
Will I have visible scars after surgery?
Most procedures are performed using minimal access or laser techniques, which involve very small incisions or no external cuts at all. As a result, scarring is minimal and usually fades significantly over time.
What is abdominal wall reconstruction, and who needs it?
Abdominal wall reconstruction is required for complex or long-standing hernias, especially those that develop after previous surgeries. The procedure restores the natural position and strength of abdominal muscles, providing a strong, durable repair and improving comfort and daily function.
Are laser treatments for piles, fissures, or fistulas painful?
Laser proctology procedures are minimally invasive and performed under anaesthesia, so you will not feel pain during treatment. After the procedure, discomfort is usually mild and short-lived compared to traditional surgery.
How long will recovery take after these treatments?
Recovery varies by procedure and individual health. Laser proctology and minimal access hernia surgery often allow return to daily activities within a few days. Bariatric and metabolic surgery involves a structured recovery plan, but most patients resume routine activities within a few weeks.
Will I need long-term follow-up after surgery?
Yes. Follow-up care is essential for long-term success. It helps monitor healing, guide lifestyle and dietary changes, and ensure lasting results—especially after bariatric and metabolic surgery.
