General Surgery in Huddersfield

General surgery includes a range of surgical specialties, primarily focusing on the abdominal organs, for example your stomach, colon and biliary system. Consultant general surgeons can also be experts in treating abdominal aches and pains, hernias, colorectal concerns to name a few.

Your digestive tract (also known as the gastrointestinal/GI tract) is a series of organs, joined together in a long, hollow tube that runs from the mouth to the anus. Along its length, the GI tract has many different complex parts and processes, all working to help break food down so that it can be more easily absorbed by the body. It also removes waste products of food by expelling them as faeces.

The GI tract itself is often categorized into three different parts:

• Upper GI – the mouth, oesophagus, stomach and first part of the small intestine;
• Lower GI (Colorectal) – the small intestine, large intestine, anus and rectum, and
• HBP (Hepato Pancreato Biliary) – the liver, pancreas and gallbladder.

A Consultant General Surgeon also investigates and treats hernias.

At Huddersfield Private Hospital, your initial consultation will take place with a consultant general surgeon of your choice, at a time and date to suit you. This consultation is an opportunity to discuss all the options available to you about your area of concern.

Your consultant will discuss your symptoms, along with suitable diagnostic investigations and treatment options, ensuring you are fully informed about these. They will also discuss your medical history, and any past procedures or investigations to create your tailored treatment plan.

We offer a directly accessible general surgery service for patients with suspected and known abdominal, colorectal, gastrointestinal and endocrine problems. This service is complimented by a range of general surgery investigations.

Depending on the scan or test required, you may be able to have it on the same day as your initial consultation, but we would usually arrange it for a few days after your initial consultation, at a date and time to suit you.

Your health is of utmost importance, and our team are here to support you every step of the way.

Please note that the initial consultation and follow-up consultation fees are additional to any tests or procedures carried out.
