Services

As a specialist general surgeon, Dr Armand Toma provides expertise in a spectrum of surgical procedures from his practice based in Gqeberha

Cholecystectomy

Cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgery to excise the gallbladder. Surgery is carried out to treat pain and inflammation as a result of the build-up of gallstones in the gallbladder or bile duct.

Groin and ventral hernia repair

Hernia repair can be performed openly or laparoscopically. Surgery involves shifting the misplaced tissue in the correct position and using a mesh to secure the area safely.
A hernia occurs due to a vulnerability in the muscular wall. As a result, the internal structures protrude from the abdomen, causing pain and, in some cases, compromising the bowel.

Thyroidectomy

A thyroidectomy is the partial or complete resection of the thyroid gland due to cancerous or non-cancerous conditions affecting the gland.

Mastectomy

Mastectomy is surgery for the treatment of breast cancer. The surgery is performed to excise the breast and lymph nodes.

Endoscopy, Gastroscopy and Colonoscopy

An endoscopy is an investigative procedure done to analyse structures in the body. A flexible tube equipped with a light and camera (endoscope) is passed through an opening such as the mouth to diagnose specific conditions.
A colonoscopy is a procedure that entails passing a colonoscope through the anal region to diagnose various bowel-related symptoms.
A gastroscopy is an examination of the food pipe, stomach and upper part of the bowel using a flexible scope (gastroscope).

Breast Health and Surgery

Dr Toma provides comprehensive care for women and men with breast concerns, ensuring every aspect from initial evaluation to surgical management and follow-up is covered, giving you peace of mind.

How do I know I need surgery?

Dr Toma considers your general well-being, health status and preferences before deciding to perform surgery.

With certain conditions, it is considered best to adopt the watch-and-wait method. Sometimes careful monitoring can prevent the need for surgery.
