Welcome to Keyhole Surgery Centre

Welcome! Keyhole Surgery Centre is a specialist centre for the provision of Obesity, Hernia, Gall Bladder and advanced Laparoscopic surgery for Upper Gatro-intestinal conditions like reflux disease and cancer.

Our senior surgeon, Mr Akhtar, has been doing weight loss, hernia and gall bladder surgery for many years. He is a Consultant General and Upper GI Surgeon, and works in Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust which is one of the leading University Teaching Hospitals in Manchester.

We provide care directly. You see a consultant and all care is provided directly by professionals and there are no intermediary organisations involved.

Weight loss surgery, like Laparoscopic Gastric Band and Gastric Bypass, is performed with the help of a multidiciplinary team of professionals under the leadership of Mr Akhtar. You can choose to have your operation at one of the top Private Hospitals in Manchester: The Alexandra Hospital, Cheadle, The Spire Hospital, Manchester and The Highfield Hospital, Rochdale. These hospitals have state of the art facilities. All patients are screened for MRSA, and there is a minimum risk of infection.

Keyhole surgery results in a quick recovery, minimum pain, an early return to work and and almost non visible scars. Mr Akhtar has been doing keyhole surgery for more than ten years.
