The Clinic is dedicated to providing an excellent service for those with hernias or hernia related problems.

The venue for surgery is chosen according to each patient’s special needs or requests.

In these days of complex and multi-system disease, a special clinic must still cater for the needs of the elderly and those with special problems. Thus the choice of anaesthetist and venue as well as the surgeon is important.

We, at the Clinic, are dedicated to achieving excellent results with surgery, but at the same time, not compromising the patient’s health. A balance must be made between the decision to operate and the risks involved.
