Description

Mr Anupam Modi is a General and Breast surgeon who completed his specialist training in UK (1996-2002) at the Royal Liverpool University Hospitals (including working at the Linda McCartney Centre) and at Castle Hill Hospital in Hull, in the UK.

At the same time he completed an MD in advanced diagnostic methods of breast surgery.

His breast and oncoplastic and reconstructive experience started in 1996 at the Royal Liverpool Hospitals.

Mr Modi has a  special interest in breast surgery that allows him to take a patient centred approach to their care. He understands  that patients will be concerned about their life beyond treatment of their current condition, and tries to balance this in his discussion. He has a range of skills available, this allows me to tailor the recommended treatment.

Interests

I practice general surgery, and especially hernia surgery, gall bladder surgery, investigation and management of abdominal and bowel problems, and upper GI endoscopy.

I have a special interest in breast and oncoplastic breast surgery and routinely perform surgery for breast cancer, breast reconstructive procedures, including the use of implants, and symmetrisation procedures (including mastopexy, breast augmentations and reductions.

I am proficient in the use of the Direct to Implant technique of breast reconstruction, and have been trained in the use of liposuction and lipo-modelling for correction following breast cancer surgery.

What is General Surgery?
The role of the general surgeon varies but in broad terms general surgery can be said to deal with a wide range of conditions within the abdomen, breast, neck, skin and vascular (blood vessel) system.
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 merely require counselling or medical treatment.

Breast Disorders Breast disorders may be noncancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant) and range from conditions that require no treatment to those that require immediate and major surgery.

Breast disorders include:

  • fibrocystic disease – benign changes in the breast tissue causes it to become dense or “lumpy”
  • fibroadenomas – benign tumours of the breast tissue
  • cysts – fluid-filled sacs
  • breast infections
  • breast cancer.

Many of these conditions do not require surgery and we will work with other specialists to find out the best treatment plan for you.

Referral Expectations

Referral Expectations:
When you come to your appointment, your surgeon will ask questions about your illness and examine you to try to determine or confirm the diagnosis. This process may also require a number of tests (e.g. blood tests, x-rays, scans etc). Sometimes this can all be done during one visit, but for some conditions this will take several follow-up appointments. Occasionally some tests are arranged even before your appointment to try to speed up the process.

 Once a diagnosis has been made, your surgeon will discuss treatment with you. In some instances this will mean surgery, while other cases can be managed with medication and advice. If surgery is advised, the steps involved in the surgical process and the likely outcome are usually discussed with you at this time.
