Surgical Approach
Laparoscopic and Open Surgery
Dr Mastakov is a laparoscopic surgeon. However, open rather than laparoscopic surgery may still be required in some conditions.
Laparoscopic surgery uses specialised equipment and smaller incisions, often called keyhole surgery. This surgical technique can offer benefits such as:
- Smaller scars
- Reduced post-operative pain
- Shorter hospital stays
- Quicker recovery times
These benefits apply where the approach is suitable for the patient and condition.
Patient Philosophy
Dr Mastakov's approach is built on:
Patient Safety
Patient safety and informed decision-making guide all recommendations and care.
Individual Assessment
Each patient's health, goals and suitability are considered carefully.
Comprehensive Care
Surgical care is supported by clear information, follow-up and supportive team.
