General Surgery

We’re here to help you decide if surgery is the best choice, for your health and wellbeing.

So you’ve been referred to Dr Balalis for surgery, but it’s not related to weight loss? You’re still in the right hands.

In addition to his passion for supporting people on their weight loss journeys, Dr Balalis is a multi-faceted surgeon who regularly performs several general surgeries at Calvary Adelaide Hospital, as well as Burnside Hospital. He is extensively trained both nationally and internationally with several world-renowned surgeons, is at the forefront of his field, offering innovations such as laparoscopic (keyhole) options in place of open surgery and retains over a decade of general surgical experience.

The many general surgeries performed by Dr Balalis include gallbladder removal, laparoscopic inguinal hernia repairs as well as gastroscopy and colonoscopy procedures. He also provides ongoing support and highly qualified advice to patients of other surgeons following post-surgical complications.
