Simple to Complex Abdominal Wall Hernia Repair
Whether you have a simple abdominal wall hernia or a complex abdominal wall hernia, usually greater than 10 cm in size, we have the expertise to repair these. If appropriate, we can repair small hernias with minimally invasive surgery, allowing a quicker repair to occur. However, complex abdominal wall defects, especially those following GI surgery and incisional hernias, may require anterior or posterior component separations (ACS/PCS) for repair.
Every patient is unique, so Mr Nunoo-Mensah will offer you care and treatment tailored to meet your needs. If a wider multidisciplinary team is required to provide the best outcome, he works with dedicated plastic surgeons at Cleveland Clinic London, including Edmund Fitzgerald O'Connor, who specializes in plastic surgery and reconstructive surgery and may also recommend an abdomnoplasty to ensure an excellent outcome tailored to individual patient needs.
Endometriosis
There is currently no cure for endometriosis. Endometriosis can be treated in several ways in order to reduce symptoms, improve quality of life, and improve fertility. The most common treatments for endometriosis that do not require surgery are hormone therapy and pain management. However, in the event surgery is required, it may involve excision (removal of the endometrial tissue using cutting) or ablation (destroying of the endometriosis cells using radiofrequency energy).
Cleveland Clinic London is proud to host some of the leading gynaecological surgeons in the country, including Ms Elizabeth Ball, with whom Mr Nunoo-Mensah collaborates closely to treat pelvic endometriosis that may involve the bowels. Contact us if you think you may have endometriosis or if you have a working diagnosis of simple or complicated endometriosis and would like to discuss your options.
State of The Art Procedures we perform:
It is important to consider short recovery time, a quick return to normal activity, low risk of complications and maintenance of functional outcomes when undergoing surgery for haemorrhoids, fistulas, or pilonidal disease. In order to achieve the best possible result, we are able to discuss with you minimally invasive procedures we perform. Below are some examples of these options:
-
Laser surgery for anal fistula, haemorrhoids and pilonidal disease
-
Other anal fistula surgery - including sphincter preservation techniques such as Permacol Paste Injection and BioLIFT procedures
-
Other haemorrhoidal surgery including Haemorrhoid artery ligation surgery (HALS) and stapled haemorrhoidectomy (PPH) procedures
Laser surgery
Haemorrhoid artery ligation surgery
A wide range of colorectal diseases that previously required open surgery can now be diagnosed and treated with minimally invasive surgery at the London Colorectal Surgery . In addition to less postoperative pain and fewer major complications following surgery, minimally invasive surgery results in shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times, less scarring, less stress on the immune system, a smaller incision, and reduced operating time and costs for some procedures. We are y proud to offer:
-
Laparoscopic (keyhole/minimal invasive) surgery
-
Advanced laparoscopic surgical procedures including SILS – single incision laparoscopic surgery
-
Trans endoscopic microsurgery for small rectal tumours
