Stones & Proctology
Two problems patients put off for years, usually because they expect a painful operation and a long stay. In most cases neither is true any more.

Urology
Stone pain is the reason most patients first walk in, but pain is a poor guide to how serious a stone is — a silent stone quietly obstructing a kidney does far more damage than a small one that hurts. The first job is always to establish the size, position and whether the kidney is obstructed.
Laser Treatment
RIRS (retrograde intrarenal surgery) and URSL reach the stone through the body’s own urinary passage — there is no cut on the body at all. A holmium laser breaks the stone into fragments small enough to pass or be removed.
Keyhole Surgery
For large, hard or staghorn stones that cannot be cleared from inside, PCNL reaches the kidney directly through a keyhole in the back, under ultrasound or X-ray guidance. Mini-PCNL uses a narrower tract, which means less bleeding and a quicker recovery.
Proctology
Piles are graded one to four, and the grade decides the treatment — which is why a patient with early piles should not be pushed into surgery, and a patient with grade four will not be fixed by ointments. We examine and grade first, then offer the least invasive option that will actually work.
Proctology
Fissure and fistula are frequently mistreated for months with creams before anyone examines the patient. Both have definitive treatments, and the aim throughout is to cure the problem while preserving sphincter function and continence.
Recovery
Modern stone and ano-rectal surgery is overwhelmingly day-care. What matters to most patients is not the name of the technique but how long they are off work and how much it will hurt — so we tell you both, in plain terms, before you decide.
Straight Answers
Not necessarily. Stones under about 6 mm often pass on their own with fluids, medication and time. Surgery is advised when the stone is too large to pass, is obstructing the kidney, is causing infection, or has not moved despite a fair trial of medical treatment. We will tell you which category you are in and why.
It used to be. Laser haemorrhoidoplasty and stapler procedures work above the pain-sensitive line, so post-operative pain is far less than with the older open operation. Most patients manage on oral painkillers and are back at a desk job within a week.
No, and this matters. Bleeding per rectum can come from a fissure, a polyp, inflammatory bowel disease or a cancer. Anyone over forty with new bleeding, or with a change in bowel habit, weight loss or a family history, should be examined and investigated properly rather than simply handed an ointment.
Most piles, fissure and fistula procedures, and RIRS for stones, are day-care — in the morning, home the same evening. PCNL for a large kidney stone usually needs two to three days.
Roughly half of stone formers form another stone within ten years if nothing changes. That is why we send the stone for analysis and check for a metabolic cause, then give you a fluid and diet plan specific to your stone type — prevention is far cheaper than a second procedure.
Both stones and piles get harder to treat the longer they are left. A single consultation tells you what you are dealing with and whether it needs treating now.
