South
Coast Upper Abdominal Surgery
(S.C.U.A.S)
Group
We
are a group of five consultant surgeons specialising in liver, pancreas,
biliary, gallbladder, gastric, oesophageal, anti-reflux, laparoscopic,
and obesity surgery. We are based in Southampton but provide subspecialist
services to the Central South Coast area as well as taking national
and international referrals.
This
website does not attempt to cover every topic related to upper abdominal
disease in detail; however it does give enough information to help
individuals understand the basic issues around common or serious
conditions in this field. The website contains the views of the
authors with regard to management of the conditions described, as
with almost all illnesses it is possible to find a second opinion
that will differ from that outlined here. However our views are
on the whole considered acceptable to the mainstream of current
UK clinicians within our specialist fields on any given theme and
can usually be supported by evidence from clinical trials or audit.
As a group we believe in evidence based medicine and try to achieve
best practice by auditing our performance and comparing our results
with national standards. Where possible we will publish our outcome
and performance data on this website.
Every
patient is a different individual and each person and their disease
must be assessed and managed on their own merits. This web site
provides a general guide to principles of management of a wide range
of conditions, however the treatment of any one person may be modified
according to other factors such as their general health, age and
social factors in order to provide the best care that we can for
that particular patient.
This
web site is designed to provide information on the surgical services
provided by the SCUAS group, as well as background information on
some of the common condition that we treat and some of the operations
that we perform.
