London Marathon Raises Money for Bowel Research UK
We are immensely proud of our colorectal and peritoneal surgeon Mr Umar Shariff, who ran the London Marathon this year...
At the Bowel Cancer Clinic we are offering Robotic Surgery at our high-tech state-of-the-art Harborne Hopsital, part of HCA Healthcare UK. Robotic surgery is keyhole surgery used to remove bowel cancer using a high precision robot controlled by the surgeon.
The surgeon sits in the surgical console of the da Vinci Xi performs super-precise surgery. This has all the benefits of keyhole surgery but has the added advantage of even better recovery in some cases.
