Conditions treated
Each page below explains a condition in plain language: what causes it, how it is assessed, and the range of treatment options — from conservative care to minimally invasive and surgical treatment.
Venous disease
Chronic Venous Insufficiency & Leg Ulcers
When leg vein valves fail for years — swelling, skin darkening, itching, and ultimately ulcers around the ankle. Progressive, and very treatable when addressed early.
Venous disease
Deep Vein Thrombosis
A blood clot in the deep veins of the leg. Prompt diagnosis prevents clots travelling to the lungs and protects the leg long-term.
Venous disease
Spider Veins
Fine red or purple vein webs on the legs — usually cosmetic, sometimes the surface sign of deeper valve leakage. Assessment tells the difference.
Venous disease
Varicose Veins
Bulging, aching leg veins caused by faulty valves. Modern treatment is walk-in, walk-out — usually without surgery in the traditional sense.
Arterial disease
Aortic Aneurysm & Dissection
Silent enlargement or a sudden tear of the body’s main artery. Screening is simple; modern repair is often through two small groin punctures.
Arterial disease
Carotid Artery Disease
Narrowing of the neck arteries that supply the brain — a major treatable cause of stroke. Detected with a simple ultrasound scan.
Arterial disease
Erectile Dysfunction — Vascular Causes
Erections are a vascular event. When medication stops working or arterial disease is suspected, a vascular assessment can show whether a treatable vascular cause exists.
Arterial disease
Peripheral Arterial Disease
Narrowed leg arteries causing cramping on walking, rest pain or non-healing wounds. Early treatment protects the limb.
Vascular access
Dialysis Access
Creating and maintaining the fistulas and grafts that make haemodialysis possible — a lifeline that deserves specialist care.
Wound care
Diabetic Foot & Chronic Wounds
Non-healing wounds, diabetic foot ulcers and limb salvage — where wound care and blood-flow restoration have to work together.
General surgery
General & Emergency Surgery
Hernias, gallstones, appendicitis, skin lumps, abdominal pain and gastrointestinal bleeding — managed with the same minimally invasive philosophy, with endoscopy in-house.
