Pathology

What is it?

Pathology is used in conjunction with a number of our treatments to study and diagnose disease found in tissue, organs and bodily fluids.

We take appropriate samples, as required, during surgery and send them to a laboratory for testing. Once we have received the results we will communicate them and discuss any implications for future surgery.
