Skiing, football, rugby, and other high-impact sports often carry a risk of injuries, many of which may require surgical intervention for effective treatment. These injuries commonly affect the knees, shoulders, and other weight-bearing joints or ligaments. Surgical options not only aim to repair the damaged structures but also enable athletes to regain function and return to their sport.

Benign prostate enlargement, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a common condition in men, particularly as they age. The prostate is a small gland located below the bladder, and it surrounds the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body. When the prostate enlarges, it can put pressure on the urethra, causing urinary symptoms such as difficulty starting urination, a weak urine stream, and frequent trips to the bathroom, particularly at night. While BPH is not cancerous, it can significantly affect a man's quality of life. Leading consultant urological surgeon Mr Wissam Abou-Chedid explains how Eco-laser can be used to treat this condition.
