Operations Dr. Yasser performs
Dr. Yasser works in three connected fields: bariatric surgery to lose weight and treat the conditions that come with it, laparoscopic surgery for the gallbladder, hernias, appendix and reflux, and surgery for tumours of the digestive system, breast and thyroid. Most of these operations are done by keyhole surgery through small incisions, which usually means less pain and a quicker return to normal life. Choose the operation you are asking about to read when it is advised, how it is done and what to expect afterwards.
