Southern Cross Gillies Hospital - Paediatric Surgery
Private Surgical Service, Paediatrics
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.
Appendectomy
Laparoscopic: several small incisions (cuts) are made in the lower right abdomen and a narrow tube with a tiny camera attached (laparoscope) in inserted. This allows the surgeon a view of the appendix and, by inserting small surgical instruments through the other cuts, the appendix can be removed.
