At Phoenix Health, we are best known for our expertise in bariatric (weight-loss) surgery, but our consultant surgeons also perform a select range of private general surgery procedures. These are among the most commonly performed operations in the UK and are carried out with the same high standards of care and safety that define our bariatric services.

Hernia and Gallbladder Surgery
At Phoenix Health, our general surgery services provide private access to two of the most common procedures: hernia repair and gallbladder removal. These treatments are delivered by highly experienced consultants using the latest surgical techniques. We combine specialist expertise with personalised care to ensure safe and effective outcomes.
How Common Are Hernia and Gallbladder Problems in the UK?
Hernia repair is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures worldwide, with millions carried out every year. In the UK alone, over 120,000 hernia repairs take place annually. Hernias can affect men, women, and children alike, and many babies are born with them.
Gallbladder problems are also common. Each year in the UK, more than 60,000 gallbladder removals (cholecystectomies) are performed, most often to treat painful gallstones. Left untreated, gallstones can cause infection, severe abdominal pain, and ongoing digestive issues.
For adults, surgery remains the only effective treatment for hernia, while gallbladder removal offers a permanent solution to recurring gallstone symptoms. At Phoenix Health, our UK based consultants perform these procedures using advanced keyhole techniques, ensuring quicker recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring.
