We are a private rectal clinic offering private medical and surgical treatment of piles, anal conditions, rectal problems, gut disorders, incontinence at the Litfield House Medical Centre in Bristol.

We are now offering removal of skin lumps anywhere on the body and repair of bothersome umbilical hernias in clinic (all under local anaesthetic). All advice and surgery is provided by an accredited specialist colorectal surgeon. Quick, painless and performed in clinic, avoiding the need for a hospital admission and general anaesthetic (local anaesthetic clinic based surgery).

In addition we would be happy to accept referral from wider regions – Birmingham, Oxford, London and Southampton.
