How we see you
A surgical consultation does not always end with an operation. The surgeon begins by examining you, looking at the tests already done and understanding what the problem changes in your daily life. Sometimes keeping an eye on it is enough; sometimes a procedure is suggested. If so, the surgeon explains what it involves, what it is expected to achieve, its risks, and what happens if you choose to wait.
Consultations take place on the second floor, wing C, a few steps from the operating block and the anaesthesia rooms. Before any planned operation you meet the anaesthetist in a separate consultation: they ask about your health and treatments, examine you, and explain the type of anaesthetic planned and the instructions to follow, fasting included.
Many procedures are done as day surgery: you arrive in the morning, have the operation, spend time in the recovery room and then the day-surgery unit, and go home the same day if the team judges it safe. The operation note, discharge instructions and your check-up appointment are added to your patient space.
People often come for…
A few common reasons, put the way patients put them. They help you find the right door; they say nothing about what you have.
- Hernia
- Gallstones
- Opinion before an operation
- Haemorrhoids
- Cyst or lump under the skin
- Follow-up after an operation
What we examine and take care of
Every situation is different: the consultation, and only the consultation, decides what comes next.
Hernias
A hernia in the groin, at the navel or through an old scar, examined standing and lying down, and whether it needs repairing.
The gallbladder
Stones seen on ultrasound, attacks of pain after meals, and the question of removing the gallbladder.
Haemorrhoids and the anal area
Bleeding, pain or discomfort when opening the bowels, examined discreetly before solutions are discussed.
Cysts and lumps under the skin
A cyst, a lipoma or a lump that is changing, and whether it can be removed, often under local anaesthetic.
Before and after an operation
A second opinion on an operation suggested elsewhere, and follow-up of healing after an operation done here.
Tests, on site
The tests this specialty asks for most often are done here, without changing address.
Laboratory
A first consultation, step by step
Arrival
After the ground-floor reception, go up to the second floor, wing C, to the surgery desk.
The conversation
The surgeon asks about the problem and how long you have had it, your history, past operations and treatments, especially any that thin the blood.
Examination
The surgeon examines the area concerned, sometimes standing then lying down, and goes through the tests you have brought with you.
The decision
If an operation is suggested, the anaesthesia consultation and pre-operative tests are scheduled, and a written report goes into your patient space.
What to bring
- Ultrasounds, CT scans and reports related to the reason for your visit
- Your current prescriptions, pointing out any treatment that thins the blood
- Reports of your previous operations and anaesthetics
- Your latest blood tests, if you have recent ones

On site only
By teleconsultation
Surgery is seen on site only: deciding on an operation needs the surgeon to examine you in person, and preparation includes an anaesthesia consultation, which is also held in person.
Common questions
Can I go home the same day?
For many procedures, yes: that is the principle of day surgery. The surgeon and the anaesthetist decide, depending on the operation and your health. You then need someone to take you home, you must not drive, and someone should stay with you for the first night.
What is the anaesthesia consultation for?
It is required before any planned operation and takes place a few days beforehand, on the second floor. The anaesthetist reviews your health and treatments, examines you, suggests the right type of anaesthetic and gives you the fasting and preparation instructions in writing.
Should I stop my treatments before the operation?
Do not change anything on your own. Which treatments to continue, pause or adjust is decided at the anaesthesia consultation, with the surgeon, and written into the instructions you receive. If in doubt, ask the surgery desk, who will pass your question on.
How does CNAS cover work?
The clinic gives you the documents you need: the feuille de soins, the operation note and receipts. Reimbursement depends on your scheme, any top-up insurance and your fund’s own procedures; the desk can tell you which documents to provide.
