We perform, on a daily basis, minor day case surgery through to complex surgery that requires inpatient care. Surgery can be performed either as an 'open' operation (traditional incision) or through 'keyhole' surgery (laparoscopic).
All surgeons and anaesthetists working with TSS are NHS consultants, work locally and are reputable, experienced clinicians. You can opt to see your consultant for an outpatient review at a number of clinical premises and a date for investigations or surgery will be organised promptly with you should this be necessary. If you need a specific procedure that is not listed below please contact the surgical team on 0191 445 3950 to discuss your requirements and receive confirmation of the treatment you require.
