I'm Dr Stephen Watson, consultant general surgeon specialising in Laparoscopic and
General Surgery. I have special interest in laparoscopic surgery for the treatment of
morbid obesity and a member of the Obesity Surgery Society of Australia and New
Zealand.

Many abdominal operations can be performed by laparoscopic or keyhole techniques.
Laparoscopic operations usually result in a shorter hospital stay and quicker recovery.
This surgery depends on specialist surgeons with modern surgical equipment.
