General surgical care
Gallbladder surgery
Investigation of gallstones and biliary symptoms, including laparoscopic cholecystectomy when surgery is recommended.

Surgical approach
Care built around the individual
Not every surgical condition requires an operation. Your consultation will focus on confirming the diagnosis, understanding how symptoms affect you and considering observation, non-operative care and surgery where relevant.
If surgery is appropriate, Dr Burton will explain the proposed operation, alternatives, important risks and the expected recovery.
