General surgery is a discipline that includes, but is not restricted to surgical procedures performed on the intestines, liver, colon, pancreas, gallbladder, stomach and thyroid gland. Our team is staffed by experienced surgeons providing general and emergency surgical services. Advanced Surgical Associates has the expertise and equipment to administer both open and laparoscopic surgery.

Laparoscopic (or “keyhole”) surgery is recognized as an integral and crucial skill that is developing across the entirety of general surgical practice. Operations are being carried out increasingly by minimally invasive techniques that offer patients less pain, better outcomes and shorter postoperative recovery. A special camera known as a laparoscope, as well as specialized surgical instruments are passed through the incisions to facilitate surgery. Virtually every abdominal operation can be done by this route.

Advanced Surgical Associates is a centre of excellence for the treatment of general surgery which provides at your disposal all therapeutic options and a variety of specialists (gastro-entero-hepatologists, general surgeons, interventional radiologists) who provide a multi-disciplinary approach to your case.
