Dr Harsh Kanhere and Dr Markus Trochsler are experienced surgeons providing a broad range of general and specialist surgical services.

 

As Head of Units at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital respectively, they work closely together across sites. They are also actively involved in teaching and research, an environment that continuously informs their practice.

Specialist Surgery

Upper GI, Hepato-biliary and Pancreatic Surgery

Management of conditions affecting the oesophagus, stomach, liver, bile ducts, gallbladder, and pancreas. This includes the treatment of cancer as well as benign conditions such as gastro-oesophageal reflux and hiatus hernia.

 

Bariatric Surgery - Weight Loss Surgery

Weight-loss surgery, including procedures such as sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. As surgery is only one component of weight-loss management, they follow a multidisciplinary approach and work closely with dietitians and other specialists to provide holistic care.

 

Endoscopies

Performance of endoscopy to diagnose and, where appropriate, treat conditions such as reflux disease, hiatus hernia, and cancers affecting the upper digestive tract, including the oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum.

 


Techniques: Open Surgery - Minimal invasive Surgery

Where appropriate and safe, Dr Kanhere and Dr Trochsler apply minimally invasive surgical techniques. These techniques aim to limit the size and number of incisions. Potential benefits may include a shorter hospital stay and a more comfortable recovery, depending on the individual patient and procedure.

 

They are available to discuss the different minimally invasive surgical options, the conditions that may be treated, and the potential benefits and risks of each approach.
