Dr Florica specialises in a range of laparoscopic abdominal surgery such as gallbladder, bowel (colo-rectal), hernia and anti-reflux.

Based on our increasing experience with laparoscopic surgery we strongly believe that the advantages this method confers to both the surgical procedure and to patient outcomes make it a far superior preference to all but the minority of procedures.

Our best results based on our practice audit, are in laparoscopic gallbladder surgery where we achieved 99% of our procedures through keyhole surgery regardless of the severity of the disease or patient health status, with no surgical technical complications.

In our bariatric practice we have performed laparoscopic gastric banding system insertion with no major or minor technical complications and our results are consistent with best practice standards.

:: Gallbladder Surgery

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which is a type of "key-hole" surgery, is currently the preferred method for treating symptomatic gallstones. The advantages of "key-hole surgery" are in less postoperative pain, less scarring, shorter hospital stay, speedier recovery and early return to work.

The gallbladder is not an essential organ and it can be removed without any significant adverse effects. Occasionally loose stools or diarrhoea is encountered after surgery, but these symptoms usually improve in time.
