Private Surgical Service, Gastroenterology, Hepatology

This is where you will come to have your surgery performed. The visits to your surgeon before and after surgery will be at their consulting rooms.

Description

Situated on Otonga Road, our hospital is the result of a multi-million dollar development, following integration of the QE Health surgical resources within the existing Southern Cross hospital in 2009. The hospital offers services to patients in Rotorua, Taupō, Bay of Plenty and the Waikato. They can access excellent facilities that include 3 high-tech operating theatres, and a range of new and upgraded environments designed to support medical specialists and nursing teams.

Procedures / Treatments

Colonoscopy

A long, narrow tube with a tiny camera attached (colonoscope) is inserted into your anus and then moved along the entire colon. This allows the surgeon a view of the lining of the colon. Sometimes a biopsy (small piece of tissue) will be taken during the procedure for later examination at a laboratory. Polyps (small growths of tissue projecting into the bowel) may be removed during a colonoscopy.

Gastroscopy

A long, flexible tube with a tiny camera attached (gastroscope) is inserted through your mouth and moved down your digestive tract. This allows the surgeon a view of the upper part of your digestive tract i.e. oesophagus (food pipe), stomach and duodenum (top section of the small intestine). Sometimes a biopsy (small tissue sample) will need to be taken during the procedure for later examination at a laboratory.
