Day Operations

Common procedures typically completed within a single day at hospital. Articles cover cataract surgery, hernia repairs, vasectomies, and removal of varicose veins or adenoids.

A Hernia Repair

Understand what an inguinal hernia is, why repair is important, and what to expect from the surgical procedure.

Adenoids: Why Are They Removed?

Adenoid removal used to be routine for kids with sore throats, but doctors now preserve these infection-fighting glands when possible.

Having a Vasectomy

A vasectomy cuts and seals the tubes that carry sperm, takes 15-30 minutes under local anaesthetic, and doesn't affect sexual function or ejaculation.

Having Cataract Surgery

Cataract surgery uses phacoemulsification to remove a clouded lens and replace it with an artificial one, restoring your vision.

Varicose Vein Stripping

Varicose vein stripping removes bulging veins in the legs caused by faulty valves, with options ranging from compression stockings to surgical removal.

What Is Stereotactic Radiosurgery?

Stereotactic radiosurgery uses highly focused radiation beams to treat tumours with minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
