Description

Allevia Kensington Hospital offers a relaxing environment which blends modern facilities with traditional personal attention. The hospital has five operating theatres and a 21 bed Inpatient Suite for patients staying overnight or longer. A Day Stay unit provides an area for day case patients to relax before travelling home.

All our specialists are experienced and highly skilled, with many being recognised nationally as experts in their fields. Our nursing staff are selected not only for their clinical ability but also for their friendly and caring approach. During your stay we aim to provide you with excellent quality surgical care backed up with exceptional nursing care and service.

General Surgery encompasses a wide range of conditions within the abdomen, breast, neck, skin and, vascular (blood vessel) system.

Some procedures are performed laparoscopically (keyhole surgery) where a surgical telescope is inserted through a small incision 5-10mm long. Laparoscopic surgery is usually associated with less blood loss during surgery and less pain and scarring following surgery. In most cases, time spent in hospital is less and overall recovery time from the operation is less than with conventional open surgery. 

This surgical service is provided at our facility by the following medical specialists. For further information please seek a referral through your GP or contact your preferred specialist directly.
