Expert in keyhole surgery
Keyhole surgery is a medical intervention involving the least possible physical trauma to the patient, particularly surgery performed using an operating laparoscope or other endoscope passed through a tiny incision; it is also known as minimally invasive surgery*. Mr Morgan is an expert in keyhole surgery and he takes considerable care so that his patients benefit from all the advantages of this technique. This includes the assurance of a quick recovery and back to normal life.

Frequently asked questions
How quickly will I be seen after a referral from my GP?
Depending on when your referral is received, a first consultation can normally be arranged within a matter of days. Consultations are held twice a week, on a Thursday and Friday, at a choice of venues in Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom. Priority appointments are always given to cases requiring urgent treatment.
If I need surgery, where will the operation be?
While some surgical operations may be undertaken as outpatient procedures, some surgery requires admittance to hospital. In either case, surgery is always carried out at Nottingham’s BMI Park Hospital. This is a modern and prestigious health care centre with five theatres and 69 beds, all with en-suite facilities, satellite TV and telephone. You can learn more about The Park’s facilities by logging on to www.bmihealthcare.co.uk
What about after-care following surgery?
If your surgery requires remaining in hospital then, to some extent, your length of stay will be dictated by your recovery time and progress. As an outpatient you will continue to remain in the care of Morgan Gynaecology until you have satisfactorily and fully recovered. There are no compromises with after-care by Morgan Gynaecology and patients are only fully “signed off” by Mr Morgan when he is 100% satisfied.
