Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery (also known as minimally invasive, or keyhole surgery) is one the major advances in modern surgical techniques. It involves the use of small incisions in the abdomen (usually less than an inch long) through which long thin instruments can reach and treat the internal organs.

Skin lumps are any areas of abnormally raised skin. The lumps may be hard and rigid, or soft and moveable. Swelling from injury is one common form of skin lump.

What Our Patients Say

Hiatus Hernia patient

"After successfully undergoing a hernia procedure carried out by Mr Agwunobi at the Alexandra Hospital I know I should make the time to explain how grateful I am to you for making such a significant difference to the quality of my life. Most pleasing has been how easily things have been corrected despite me having left it far too long before seeking your help."
