Laser surgery

Advantages of using laser surgery include:

• Less bleeding
• Lower risk
• Faster recovery times
• Lower risk of infection
• Higher precision
• Better outcomes

We use lasers during a variety of surgical procedures alongside other equipment, including in keyhole spinal surgery. We also offer a range of procedures almost entirely reliant on laser-based techniques, including:

• Laser corrective eye surgery
• Varifocal lens implantation
• Removal of tattoos and ‘port-wine stains’
• Non-surgical treatment of varicose veins
• Hair removal

Our experienced surgeons are pleased to offer new tried-and-tested laser treatments to patients where appropriate. We continually update our facilities to make this possible across the UK.

Depending on your surgical needs, you may need a GP referral for laser-based surgery or laser treatments at Nuffield Health Hospitals.
