Services
Rectal Bleeding
$0.00
We understand that rectal bleeding can be alarming. However, most causes of bleeding are benign. Dr Ganesh’s specialised expertise will help treat and manage your symptoms.
Colon Polyps
$0.00
Polyps of the colon and rectum are common. However, individuals may not know they have these abnormal clumps of cells. This is because polyps typically do not cause other symptoms unless they are large. Dr Ganesh has advanced training and specialised expertise in performing routine screenings and treating conditions of the colon and rectum as indicated. Due to the nature of polyps, their removal is generally recommended.
Haemorrhoid
$0.00
Haemorrhoids are dilated blood vessels on the inside of the anus, due to excessive straining. ‘Perianal’ refers to the area around the anus, the skin and tissues in this region are particularly sensitive and susceptible to damage. When the anal and rectal veins become inflamed, haemorrhoids can develop. This common condition may be marked by:
● Bleeding
● Protruding skin or lumps
● Moderate discomfort or pain
● Itching due to mucous discharge
● Heightened sensitivity
Inguinal Hernia – Open and laparoscopic
$0.00
An inguinal hernia is a noticeable bulge that is usually accompanied by acute, sharp, or aching pain. They develop when the abdominal wall’s inner lining is weakened. A balloon-like form pushes parts of the intestines or abdominal tissue into the weakened or torn area. Inguinal hernias are distinguished from other hernias as they are present in the lower abdomen or groin area.
Umbilical and incisional hernia (laparoscopic and open)
$0.00
Umbilical hernias are more common in men than women, they are usually asymptomatic but can cause pain. These hernias can be treated laparoscopically or via open surgery.

Cholecystectomy (surgery for gallstones)
$0.00
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy involves making 4 ‘keyhole’ incisions in the abdomen to place a camera and working instruments to safely remove the gallbladder. An intraoperative cholangiogram will be performed, this is the injection of a dye to identify the anatomy of the bile ducts and to ensure there are no stones in the main common bile duct. The total time required to perform laparoscopic cholecystectomy depends on factors such as your risk of complications, including the presence of existing infections and severe gallbladder disease.
Laparoscopic and Open Surgery
$0.00
Many conditions can be treated with both open and minimally-invasive techniques. These conditions range from inflammatory bowel diseases (like Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis) to diverticulitis and polyps.
Dr Ganesh will discuss factors such as your current health, comorbidities, and prior abdominal surgeries. These factors can influence the most appropriate technique that is recommended for you.
