We provide specialist medical care for the assessment and management of patients with surgical diseases of the oesophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver and biliary tree. This involves the range of conditions from common problems such as gallstones to conditions that require multimodality treatment such as oesophageal carcinoma and metastatic liver cancer.
This clinic also holds fortnightly multidisciplinary cancer meetings at Box Hill Hospital to discuss and plan the treatment of patients with upper gastro-intestinal cancers.
Further information about these meetings can be found on the NEMICS website (North East Metropolitan Integrated Cancer Service) .
Information is available on HealthPathways Melbourne for assistance in managing your patient’s condition. This includes what investigations you need to perform prior to referring to a specialist and what information you need to include in the referral. If you require login access to HealthPathways, contact [email protected].
Please continue to refer Upper GI/HPB Surgery conditions as per clinical assessment and need.
For referral information, including how to refer electronically, see Specialist (Outpatients) Clinics.
If your patient’s condition deteriorates, please send an updated referral via HealthLink SmartForms selecting the Referral Continuation “Amended referral/update previously sent referral” with additional clinical information.
Emergency cases should be sent to the Emergency Department.
