Description
As an experienced surgeon David has a wide range of knowledge and skills in treating thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal conditions. He has experience with treating complex hernias including laparoscopic management of these. Currently David is involved in Hernia education and training, including educational talks and hosting clinical immersions at Ormiston Hospital. He has an interest in robotic surgery and is involved in the development of robotic hernia surgery in New Zealand.
While the name would suggest that the focus of general surgery is to perform operations, often this is not the case. Many patients are referred to surgeons with conditions that do not need surgical procedures, but require counselling or medical treatment.
David consults weekly at Ormiston Hospital. Surgery, if required, is performed predominantly at Ormiston Hospital

Procedures / Treatments
The most common gallbladder problem is gallstones. These are formed if the gallbladder is not working properly, and the standard treatment is to remove the gallbladder (cholecystectomy). This procedure is usually performed using a laparoscopic (keyhole) approach.

A hernia exists where part of the abdominal wall is weakened, and the contents of the abdomen push through to the outside. This is most commonly seen in the groin area but can occur in other places. Surgical treatment is usually quite straightforward and involves returning the abdominal contents to the inside and then reinforcing the abdominal wall in some way. Laparoscopic repair of hernias, particularly groin hernias, offers the best chance of quick recovery and most groin hernias are suitable for repair using this technique.

Abnormalities of the endocrine system treated by general surgery include disorders of the pancreas and adrenal glands in the abdomen and the thyroid and parathyroid glands in the neck. These are often very complex conditions requiring extensive investigations. If surgery is required it is often quite complicated and will usually mean a stay in hospital for several days or even longer.
