## Lead surgeon
Dr. Wong Kiu Fung, Kelvin (王喬峯醫生) is a Specialist in Surgery. He
holds an MSc in Gastroenterology and a Diploma in Medicine from The Chinese
University of Hong Kong, is a Member and Fellow of the Royal College of
Surgeons of Edinburgh (MRCSEd, FRCSEd), a Fellow of the Hong Kong College
of Surgeons (FCSHK) and a Fellow of the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine
(Surgery). Consultations in Cantonese, English and Mandarin.

## Endoscopy (gastroscopy + colonoscopy)
Gastroscopy examines the oesophagus, stomach and duodenum; colonoscopy
examines the colon and rectum. Both are important for early identification
of polyps, ulcers and early cancer. Colonoscopy from age 50 is broadly
recommended; earlier if there is a family history of colorectal cancer.
Gastroscopy allows biopsy for H. pylori testing (urease test or histology).

## Inguinal hernia (小腸氣)
Inguinal hernia is the most common hernia in Hong Kong: lifetime risk about
27% in men versus about 3% in women. It does not self-resolve; a hernia
that becomes irreducible (cannot be pushed back) may indicate incarceration
and requires urgent surgical assessment. Modern management is usually
minimally-invasive.

## Appendicitis (闌尾炎)
Hong Kong sees roughly 2,000 new appendicitis cases each year. Typical pain
starts around the umbilicus and migrates to the right lower quadrant, often
with tenderness, fever and nausea. Diagnosis combines clinical assessment,
blood tests and imaging. Laparoscopic appendicectomy is the mainstream
treatment; delayed treatment can lead to perforation and peritonitis.

## Gallstones & gallbladder polyps
Gallstones and gallbladder polyps are often 'silent' — many patients are
diagnosed incidentally on imaging. Long-term bile stasis and concentration
raise the risk of biliary sludge and stones, which can lead to biliary
colic, acute cholecystitis or bile-duct obstruction. Assessment includes
ultrasound and, where indicated, MRCP; treatment options range from
surveillance to laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

## Thyroid tumour / thyroid cancer
Thyroid tumours may be benign (thyroid nodules — often asymptomatic) or
malignant (thyroid cancer — most commonly papillary or follicular).
Assessment centres on ultrasound and fine-needle aspiration cytology, with
imaging or blood tests where indicated. Benign lesions are often observed;
malignant lesions are managed surgically and, in selected cases, with
radioactive iodine or adjuvant therapy.
