Why Safe Surgery?

'My aim is to keep developing new surgical approaches that will improve the safety and therefore the outcome of my patients.'

My name is Dr Chris Berney, I am a general surgeon, specialising in advanced laparoscopic procedures. I completed my training in Switzerland before coming to Australia over 10 years ago.

My preference for laparoscopic procedures is based on seeing my patients returning to near normal activities within days. Laparoscopic work is minimally invasive, there are less complications and recovery time is quicker.

I am very involved with new medical developments and surgical techniques thus my patients can benefit from these in my practice whenever possible.

As well as advanced laparoscopic surgery, I perform gastric banding surgery, endocrine surgery (thyroid gland, parathyroid gland) and endoscopic procedures such as gastroscopies and colonoscopies.

My aim is to deliver the highest quality service and to provide a thorough analysis of individual surgical needs. I will find the most appropriate and least invasive approach that provides the best outcomes for my patients.

I have appointments at the Prince of Wales Private, Sydney Private, Kareena Private, St George Private and Bankstown Hospitals. I am also an Associate Professor with the University of NSW and was awarded a PhD in Medicine in 1999 for my research on the development of liver metastases from colorectal cancer.
